duo exhibition ‘Post Index’, Mnemonic Pavillion,
Viana do Castelo (PT)
04.08 — 03.09.2023 




Work produced during the Hyperlocal art residency at Mnemonic
Pavillion in the Ecological Urban Park of Viana do Castelo (PT).

Driven by the absence of images of algae and their representation in Portuguese culture, the work seeks to return visibility and a sense of wonder to these forms of life. Through botanical drawings and the invocation of a shared ancestry with red algae, the pieces bring the potential to create affective relationships, in an attempt to recover part of a story that has not yet been told.
