“For 28 years we have been promoting the ‘Grande Prêmio de Literatura dst’, which joins other initiatives to support culture and the arts, such as our art gallery, the zet gallery, which supports hundreds of national and international artists. Through art, literature, philosophy, theater and poetry we have the opportunity to promote discussion on the main topics that affect society: poverty, minorities, social and gender inequalities, social justice, sustainability, adopting a stand in the construction of the Cosmopolis”, stresses José Teixeira.
