Congress Area Calouste Gulbenkian FoundationThe Saco da Baixa [Downtown Bag] project uses the arts and creativity as vehicles of connection, self-awareness and appreciation of the individual and group.
The feminine archetypes and the representation thereof were moulded using textile sculpture and felting techniques, in a process of personal and transpersonal transformation involving conceptual thinking, manual work and collaborative effort in the construction of the sculptures.
The combination of textiles and sound arts seeks to awaken and add the sense of hearing, which is key in collaborative creations. The ecological potential of creative processes is also demonstrated through the reuse of materials.
