Mapa das Ideias

Ana says often enough that we have a strange history of great solutions for impossible problems. We all laugh, then smile (quite proudly) and go back to work.

In fact, Mapa das Ideias (Map of Ideas) was created a decade ago as an Expo’98 ideals offspring. Starting academic careers didn’t seem quite enough at the time. We embraced this project as a means of social change, a small (although feisty) vehicle of ideas and creativity.

We believe strongly that “citizenship” has three dimensions – cognition, emotion and action. We can only love what we know, we act on emotions, representations and social relations.

So, we teach different players (specially museums and other cultural agents) to relate with their audiences through content.

The company is organised in according to project methodology, creating the perfect team for each client’s problem. Think outside the box is our motto and our greatest achievement, building audiences and relations today for tommorow.

An idea can represent the tipping point of utopia.
