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

We seek porous, living formats that bring creators and communities together, cross disciplines, and turn encounter into 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 difference.

We create initiatives that reduce barriers to entry,broaden audiences and challenge the idea of centre and periphery. If art is a tool for thinking about society, then it must be accessible, shareable and shaped 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.

We are a media outlet registered with the Portuguese Media Regulatory Authority (ERC) under the number 126542. We were born with a deep connection to culture and art, but gradually expanded our focus to other subjects, reflecting the concerns of those who read us and also of those who are part of Gerador. Over the past few years, we have paid close attention to young people’s concerns, climate change, the challenges faced by low-density territories, the health of democracy, and the many forms of inequality that persist in society. It is precisely because we believe inequalities are the greatest obstacle to progress that, from 2026 onwards, we have decided to direct our gaze primarily towards this subject.

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. That is also why we feel it is essential to always give the issues we address an international context.

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 give space or the different expressions of both Portuguese and English, respecting the origins of those who write or speak. On our platform, it will be common to find articles published, for example, in European Portuguese or Brazilian Portuguese, 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 seek to make the most of the advantages offered by digital media on our website and social media channels in order 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 defend a pedagogy that does not confuse speed with clarity, nor opinion with critical thinking. For us, learning means developing the ability to sustain difficult questions, recognise complexity and resist the temptation of instant answers.It means identifying interests, recognising biases, distinguishing evidence from narrative, and understanding how power is organised through language, images, platforms, institutions and the routines of everyday life.

We are aware that there is no such thing as neutral learning. What one learns depends on the place from which one looks, on what one has lived, what one fears and what one desires. That is why, 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 effort.We learn better in community, when knowledge ceases to be the property of a speaker and becomes a shared construction. The learning we dream of helps to transform. And that transformation, even when it begins with an individual, is only fulfilled when it encounters society and helps to change it.
