Event details

Representation can be a tool of desire, encounter or recognition. Producing a map is therefore this space of possibility and dialogue, a place of possible speech and presented dreams.

Participants are invited to share the location of a tree they know, its place in their life and history, inscribing it on the city map. Through the collective construction of this map we will identify, find and discover the trees that live in Guimarães and share their space with us and with other species. This map will be constructed in embroidery, with cotton thread on linen, crossing knowledge that is whispered in this territory.

Participants nr: no limit. Participants will use embroidery needles.

Duration: continuous, concurrent with the opening of the space.

Materials: Linen and cotton.

Meeting point: Gallery Garagem Avenida, Guimaraes

Meeting time: continuous according to opening times
