Cirandar|desenhar a experiência do lugarWandering| drawing the experience of the place



Esta oficina-encontro de dois dias orientada por Susana de Medeiros e organizada em parceria com as associações Tertúlia e Xerem terá lugar no Parque Natural da Costa Vicentina, a cerca de 10 km de Aljezur, nos dias 09 e 10 de Julho.
Pretende potenciar o registo da experiência do lugar a partir do desenho entendido num sentido lato (sobre papel e sobre outros suportes e do desenho no espaço).
O objectivo será o de ‘mapear’ o espaço (a partir do desenho). Os mapas são espaços de representação, são dispositivos que nos permitir ‘ler’ o espaço. Tendemos a organizar o espaço para nos ‘apropriarmos’ dele, para confiscá-lo. Os mapas, espaços de representação do espaço, podem ter múltiplas vocações. O mapa pode nos mostrar um caminho mas também pode despoletar um desejo de fuga ao quotidiano, de exploração de espaços desconhecidos.
Nesta oficina vamos, partir da experiência do caminhar na paisagem e fazer parte dela, do estar em trânsito(oficina-manhãs), convocar memórias de outras experiências (oficina-tardes) de maneira a construirmos uma cartografia(emocional ou não, ficcional ou não), uma geografia pessoal através do desenho.
Ao caminharmos (de manhã) registaremos em cadernos (diários gráficos) o que nos capta a atenção. Haverá lugar para um pic-nic à sombra das árvores. À tarde a oficina decorrerá na antiga escola primária do Barranco da Vaca para, partindo das impressões e dos registos da manhã, exploramos e imaginarmos o(s) território(s) conhecido(s) ou desconhecido(s).

 .

Todos os materiais necessários para a oficina, pic-nic e outras refeições, alojamento e deslocações estão a cargo do participante. Uma listagem com alojamento local será disponibilizada.

Costa Vincentina Natural Park (10 km from Aljezur) will be the meeting point for a two day workshop directed by Susana de Medeiros and organised by Tertulia and Xerem on the 9th and 10th of July. Through drawing exercises it aims to expose participants to the experiences of a place, allowing them to express in visual forms an emotional cartography and/or a personal geography.
Walks will be taken in the morning with occasional breaks to observe and record the impacts of the sensory stimuli in ‘travel notebooks’ and using photography. A picnic will take place in the shade of trees. The studio work will be undertaken at Barranco da Vaca old Primary School. The afternoon’s exercises will encourage a development of a personal mapping of the space based on previous memories that would interlace with the morning’s experiences. Maps give orientations but also can create the urge to get loss in space. We will be trying to build different reinterpretation of the real in order to find ‘coordinates’ to trace ways, paths, trails imaginary or real. Notion of space, place, and territory among other would be object of discussion.

 .

The participants should bring all materials necessary for the workshop, as well as food for the picnic. Meals and accommodation are not provided. Accommodation can be arranged.
