Abstract
Considering that it´s fundamental to maintain a process of constant reflection so that the consolidation of the Brazilian Psychiatric Reform can take place without a “plastering” of practices that would hinder the proposal of personalized care, adequate to the specific reality of each case, it is important to observe the experiences that have been happening in the devices of Psychosocial Attention. For this reason, this article reports the experiences that occurred in a CAPS AD in the years 2011 to 2014, narrating the process of implantation of a photography workshop and its implications. It was noticed that, by proposing an open, flexible activity to the user´s demands, it was possible to arouse artistic and management interests, which culminated in the engagement in a photography collective - something that was not due to an obligation to attend activities, but to an opening of the workshop to the interests of each participant, which worked best for increase “membership” and the frequency.
