The idea of literacy associated with health and well-being in this exhibition was a proposal
initiated by the Portuguese Society for Health Literacy (SPLS). The initial challenge was bringing a constructive perspective solution to the exhibition: “from the artist´s point of view, to work on themes underlying health literacy that focus on therapeutic communication, on the
development of competences and on the relationships in health, meaning, understanding
relationships, the lack of them, union of efforts and partnerships”.

Each artist individually explored creative and interpretive possibilities that allow rethinking the
boundaries between professionals, patients, and artists in a simultaneously intimate, personal, and collective way. It highlights the power of artistic expression in the dialogue and involvement of institutions, creators, and people in general in health literacy.
