Our main function is to create space: space to create, to take risks, to fail, to try again. We believe that art is not a territory for the few, but a public tool , capable of unlocking language, imagination, and the future.

We seek porous and vibrant formats that bring together creators and communities, that cross disciplines, that make encounter a methodology. We are interested in art as imagination , as the possibility of creating what does not yet exist. We defend the right to experimentation and to difference.

We create initiatives that reduce barriers to entry , broaden audiences, and challenge the idea of ​​center and periphery. If art is a tool for thinking about society, then it must be accessible, shareable, and traversed by multiple voices. We are interested in diversity not as a checklist, but as a condition of quality: more perspectives generate more complexity, and more complexity generates better questions.

And above all, we believe that Art is collective, even when it originates from a singular voice.There's always an ecosystem behind it: references, exchanges, dialogue, criticism, care, community. Gerador It exists to nurture this ecosystem, to bring creators and audiences closer together, and to ensure that creation continues to be a space of freedom, risk, and transformation.

Editorial Policy

We are a media outlet registered with the Regulatory Authority for Social Communication (ERC) under number 126542. We were founded with a deep connection to culture and art, but we have broadened our focus to other themes, reflecting the feelings of our readers and also those who are part of Gerador. Over the past few years, we have been attentive to the concerns of young people, climate change, the challenges of sparsely populated areas, the health of democracy, and the immense expressions of inequality that persist in society. It is precisely because we consider inequalities to be the greatest obstacle to progress that we have decided, from 2026 onwards, to preferentially direct our attention to this issue.

Our understanding of what inequalities mean is deliberately broad. It includes economic inequalities, inequalities of access and opportunity, social, gender and identity-based inequalities, territorial and environmental inequalities, political and power inequalities, as well as digital inequalities and inequalities in access to information. We seek to examine these issues in depth and to present proposals for tackling them, sometimes through academic perspectives, other times through concrete cases of success.

We practice slow journalism against the tyranny of immediacy. Our reports and investigations take months, sometimes years, to complete and are the result of a multidisciplinary team involving journalists, editors, designers, photographers, videographers, illustrators, academics, and the entire Gerador team. We believe that journalism is a collective product, never an individual one. Therefore, we also feel it is always necessary to provide an international context to the issues we cover.

We are rigorous and dedicated, but also relaxed, open to criticism and with a sense of humour. We reject any form of discrimination based on gender, religion, ethnic origin or sexual orientation, and defend the values of plurality and cultural diversity. As a non-profit association, we have no owners, only a board that is regularly elected. We are independent of political, economic or any other kind of pressure.

We provide space for various expressions of the Portuguese and English languages, respecting the origins of the speakers. On our platform, it will be common to encounter articles published simultaneously in, for example, Portuguese from Portugal or Portuguese from Brazil, as well as in American English or South African English.

We use Artificial Intelligence only as a tool to support editorial work, always under human supervision and never as a substitute for the judgement, responsibility or sensitivity of those who practise journalism. Its use is mainly focused on correcting errors, supporting an initial stage of translation, and jointly analysing large volumes of data. We do not use Artificial Intelligence to write journalistic texts, nor to create journalistic images or videos. We expect the same care and critical awareness from the organisations and people we collaborate with, and remain attentive to the ways in which they use these technologies.

We publish a limited-edition magazine and try to take full advantage of the digital tools on our website and social media to make information accessible to everyone.

We prefer questions to answers. Our vision is not about accumulating information, but about gaining tools to interpret, question and act.

We advocate for a pedagogy that does not confuse speed with clarity, nor opinion with critical thinking. For us, learning is developing the ability to sustain difficult questions, to recognize complexity, and to resist the temptation of instant answers . It is identifying interests, recognizing biases, distinguishing evidence from narrative, and understanding how power is organized in language, images, platforms, institutions, and daily routines.

We are aware that there is no neutral learning. What one learns depends on the perspective from which one looks, on what one experiences, what one fears, and what one desires. Therefore, we are interested in approaches that value dialogue, listening, and the healthy confrontation of perspectives.

And, as with everything at Gerador, education is a collective endeavor . Learning happens best in community, when knowledge ceases to be the property of a single speaker and becomes a shared construction. The learning we dream of helps to transform. And this transformation, even when it begins in an individual, is only fulfilled when it encounters society and helps it to change.
