Lugar semente

With the latent and pulsating force of a seed, the participatory work Lugar Semente questions us about the relationships between species, reflecting on the Anthropocene and proposing alternative speculative worlds, where all – minerals, plants, animals and humans – are interconnected.

This reflection, made by the artist with students from 5 to 10 years old, is part of the third edition of the Lugar project, a participatory education project of artistic creation of CAM, which in the 2024/25 school year was led by the guest artist Maja Escher, 227 students (1st to 4th grade) of the Mestre Querubim Lapa School in Lisbon, their teachers and a museum mediation team, to propose a reflection on the notion of ecology, imagination, and the relationships and fabulations of fertile futures, based on the interdependence between species.

The artwork Lugar Semente will be on display at the Gulbenkian Garden from June 18 to July 7.
