Where were(n't) they?

Where were(n't) they?

"Where were(n't) they?" is a community-based artistic project, promoted by the Braga Municipal Archive, with artistic direction by PELE. The project seeks to involve the local senior community in processes of reflection, discussion, and collective creation, drawing from the city’s photographic archive. The focus of this exploration will be on the presence and absence of the feminine, and on the places that women of Braga, in their widespread anonymity, occupied in the public and private spheres of the city, culminating in a sound journey through the city.

Cenários Futuros

Cenários Futuros

Cenários Futuros is a project of listening, mapping, speculation, and collaborative artistic creation that addresses the concept of the post-natural in its multiple expressions. The project was structured as a collaborative, interdisciplinary investigation that is sensitive to the relationship between local communities and the perceptions–transformations–narratives–imagery of the territory.

Radical Tenderness

Radical Tenderness

Feeling it. What? Do you? Do you listen? Listening inside out. What happens if we don’t do anything? Bodies moving together through space, rhythms, times. Connecting, following, letting go of each other. Body-space. Holding each other. Holding on to each other. City-jungle. Co-existing. Co-depending. Look around. Listen through your skin. Being part of it. Touching it. What? Can’t you feel it?

Pact2026

Reflecting on sustainability is, inevitably, asking about theoretical and practical processes of survival, present and future. Thus, in our practice of artistic creation, we find ourselves urgently needing to reconfigure production and consumption patterns, looking for ethical alternatives to contribute to a shared future.
