This is within a short text describing a piece/project by a Portuguese artist, involving a collective drawing exercise. Can anyone help me work out what is meant here? I am slightly unsure as to whether "plano" is "plane" here or "project/plan". And also how best to translate sensível, given its wide range of meaning. Many thanks in advance.
"Pergunta: Existe uma componente politica neste projecto?
A relação entre a prática colectiva do desenho tomada como dádiva e a construção de uma possibilidade politica de entender a prática artística situa-se ao nível do estabelecimento de um plano sensível de partilha."

thoughtful participation
well thought out/thoughtful participation
Note from asker:
| I was just wondering about thoughtful, Nick! And participation is nice too - perhaps participatory would work as well? |

[a] sensitive form of shared participation
There are some mixed images in the text. Here's my interpretation:
'to understand artistic practice as the establishment of a sensitive form of shared participation'
[Leave out "ao nível do", which is confusing.]
