Portuguese (Re)constitution

The project transformed Portugal’s fascist constitution into a manifesto of freedom, reclaiming the “blue pencil” once used by censors during the dictatorship (1933–1974). 48 years later, poets and illustrators turned the repressive document into blackout poetry and art celebrating creativity and free expression.

"It was such a simple impactful way of expressing the idea of freedom"
