In recent decades, our society has incorporated new social, political and economic paradigms, creating what Han (2015) called the performance society. Such paradigms raised the level of expectation about the performance of individuals, generating a permanent feeling of tiredness and failure. We observed the reproduction of this phenomenon at the university through frequent reports of psychological discomfort, especially from students. Thus, we proposed the Expressing Subjectivities, an extension project to promote educational and psychosocial attention to the Education Center students', at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte-Brazil, providing them with moments of relaxation in workshops that proposed expression through art. This article aims to record, disseminate and reflect on the project's actions, its potentialities and limitations. Through the analysis of the project's data, in dialogue with the studies carried out by the group, we discuss the positive results obtained that point to two guiding pillars for our actions: dialogue as a basis for the constitution of subjectivity and art as a form of expression and resistance.
