The material is the result of training, conducted since August this year, by the curators of the exhibition, artists Jair Jacqmont, Lula Sampaio and Cristóvão Coutinho. The group was very excited, created interesting installations, dealing with garbage and the environment", observed the instructor of Drawing and Painting Initiation at the Parintins High School, Josinaldo Mattos.

The teacher adds that the activity involved students of all ages, from teenagers to seniors. "We have classes of various age groups and they participated heavily in the works for the exhibition. The students were provoked by the curators to reflect about the spaces in which they are inserted and they raised a question through art, alerting people about where humanity is heading with so much consumption", Mattos said.

The high school principal in Parintins, Andressa Oliveira, points out that "Spaces, Mine, Yours, Ours" is a collective creation that involved 148 students from Liceu Claudio Santoro and 10 from Escola de Educação Especial Glauber Viana Gonçalves, from the Pestalozzi Association, which works with students with intellectual disabilities. "It is a very beautiful action, not only for the artistic product, but for the environmental awareness. The students went out to gather branches, reused bottles, plastic and iron. The result is really cool", he highlighted.
