Residência, investigação e programa criativo
Pesquisa colaborativa e residência artística
com os artistas Binu Bhaskar, Monica de Miranda e Alex da Silva
27 de Outubro a 4 de Novembro – Cabo Verde

Os artistas irão explorar as histórias e mitos da relação da paisagem erodida de Cabo Verde com a ideia de emigração e de retorno como um caminho para a prosperidade e desejo de trabalhar no exterior. Os artistas vão olhar para a cartografia do solo erodido como uma metáfora para a experiência da migração em Cabo Verde. Poucos ou nenhuns países têm experimentado a emigração de forma extensiva como Cabo Verde. A diáspora ultrapassa a população residente, e praticamente qualquer família tem membros emigrantes.

A picnic will take place in the shade of trees. The studio work will be undertaken at Barranco da Vaca old Primary School.
