	THE BUILDING OF THE VESSEL, 2024
Collected wild raw clay, local red clay, ceramics, mirrors, seeds,&#38;nbsp;and fiction story; 
variable dimensions.


(solo show)Sala de Exposições - Loja Oficina, Guimarães (PT)25.10.2024 — 22.03.2025&#38;nbsp;

	
	











As a result of her creative process, Catarina Braga presents in this exhibition a set of ceramic and pottery pieces that combine local techniques of working with red clay with references to different imaginaries of the natural world. 
Based on a fictional legend in which, surprisingly, seeds transform into images and fire gives life to plants, the pieces carry traditional symbols, shapes and images with speculative meanings. This fictional legend, titled The Building of the Vessel, was written by the artist to accompany the pieces produced for the exhibition. 




(if you’re interested in reading the story or acquiring any of the pieces, please get in touch)

	PRACTICES OF A LIVING ARCHIVE, 2025

at Fundação da Casa de Mateus, Vila Real (PT)19.07— 16.11.2025&#38;nbsp;

Based on digital visualization technologies, the work explores visual language from techno-scientific practices as a lens for viewing natural ecosystems.
As the project School of Transitions approaches the vast area of Casa de Mateus as a living laboratory, which invites different scientists, researchers and ecologists from diverse fields (geodesign, microbiology, ecological engineering, etc.) to investigate the territory, the work aims to experiment with ways of exhibiting research practices (which are continuous, active and alive). Acting as a layer of investigation over photographs of plants, soil, and crops, the images create a correlation between the biodiversity found in Casa de Mateus — vineyards, gardens, orchards (and the various species of plants and microorganisms that coexist there) — and the diversity of images, with their different scales, perspectives and fields of knowledge.

	PRODUCED AFFECTIONS&#38;nbsp; —&#38;nbsp; AFFECTED 
PRODUCTION, 2022



(solo show) &#38;nbsp; Museu de Alberto Sampaio, Guimarães&#38;nbsp; (PT)
21.01 — 12.03.2022
	
	

The exhibition was designed to occupy the Santa Clara Room, the Talha Room, the Chapter Room and the cloister of the Alberto Sampaio Museum, which presented our cultural heritage as entirely dependent on a plant heritage. While the sound installation From the Forests (2022) in these rooms (created with sound recordings of various tropical rainforests) transported the museum's art pieces to a rainforest environment, our gaze was being directed to the pieces of sacred art, whose material was praised — the religious sculptures and the altarpieces built with wood: oak and chestnut — and unveiled the vegetal elements of the gilded carvings and the paintings. The sound installation activated our vision to see how certain cultural symbols and devices that have accompanied Portuguese culture are, in fact, made of plants.

	The Future of Capital, 2022 (still frame) 
video, 16'13".&#38;nbsp;


	



Installed with grow lights, The Future of Capital (2022) called our attention to our temporal conception of History, and the fact that the displacement of plant species has served to capitalize nature, in which the various periods of colonization throughout history contributed to an economic system whose capital was generated from the rapid production of plants (food, medicines, spices).
 In the end, the video presents the production of new artificial ecosystems, such as greenhouses and vertical horticulture factories — where growth lights take the place of natural light — and opens several links to think about the installation of Futuristic Plant Arrangement (2022) that came from the Municipal Plant Nursery of Guimarães, arranged throughout the cloister.

GROWTH ROOM is an experience-installation generated by a control of technologies — grow lights, heat, humidity, and insulation from the outside environment — where it is possible for humans to experience an idealised climate, favourable for accelerating plant growth.
 

Even though the room is a totally artificial place, what it produces is natural: photosynthesis, plant growth, flowering, fruit and vegetable production. The place of a greenhouse is born out of the need for mass production, a fictional place that capitalizes on time and plant growth. Although the room is built according to specific conditions for the growth of vegetal bodies, here the medium becomes the human body, where experience is manifested instead. 
Can our bodies grow in this environment too?

	THE WORLD IS NOT THE WORLD, 2019

(solo show)
	
	
	
Banana Jam Gallery, Shenzhen (CN)
27.04 — 19.05.2019
	
	
The exhibition is expanded as a multiple of visual and conceptual elements about the language of objects. They reflect and establish different relationships about the complex reality we live in and the representations we have created. Simple elements become symbols that codify ideas, juxtapositions build metaphors about the world, the space and what we consider artificial.
 
At times trying to make the distinction of what is copied, duplicated, faked, simulated, artificial; the technical differences between the objects tend to be more simple and obvious than the conceptual differences that they imply.

	After all, a net is not a net. A plant is not just a plant.
All the artworks are thought of as objects which were processed, manufactured, recreated, rendered, first by me as an artist, but before that, by us, human beings. From a distant point of view, people are invited to see a part of this artificial world that we live in, made of things that do not serve us. In this exhibition I don’t address the matter of current developments of, for example, robots nor does the exhibition have any human visual elements. Nevertheless, we human beings are the main subject of this exhibition and its pieces. What is implied is that the world we are building is increasingly artificial and infertile; we are altering the world to be a desert land. I’m looking to bring into light some of the rigid and inflexible structures that we use to perceive and act in the world by testing (and learning at the same time) the limits of these objects.

group exhibition ‘Field Theory’, oMuseu, Porto (PT)05.05 — 19.05.2023

Fragments of an investigation carried out at the end of the 21st century get intermixed with the invisibility of the object of study — indoor air.
From a speculative practice between the scientific process and the artistic process with all the affective, political, social and cultural conditions that we create with the things of the world, the appearance of a new body is proposed. 
It is inside a fictionalised laboratory that we get to see this collective, symbiotic and ancestral organism; a multispecies entity that transcends the borders between terrestrial bodies (mineral, human, vegetal, animal, technological) and time and space.

	TOWARDS A COLLECTIVE IMAGINARY, 2023
Sand, stoneware, inkjet prints and essay; 
variable dimensions.

duo exhibition ‘Post Index’, Mnemonic Pavillion, 
Viana do Castelo (PT)04.08 — 03.09.2023&#38;nbsp;

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.

“In Search of the Forgotten Image é um vídeo-ensaio narrado por uma planta-imagem, um emoji, que documenta a procura da sua verdade ontológica. Para se conhecer, a planta-imagem indaga sobre a sua anatomia e materialidade e a sua relação com outras plantas. O reconhecimento da sua anatomia é descrito por capturas de ecrã que testemunham movimentos de aproximação ao seu corpo no contexto de ferramentas digitais de edição e visualização de imagem: ora desliza no picotado intermitente que demarca o corpo do seu redor, entre os seus pixéis e os pixéis do todo digital que o circunda; ora percorre a sua geometria vectorial, de ponto a ponto, como se se debatesse com as suas articulações. A procura por uma relação com outras plantas é feita em sequencias de imagens de herbários digitalizados encontradas no “labirinto brilhante”, através das quais imagina semelhanças e “consanguinidades” com o mundo vegetal. 

&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp; A projecção do vídeo sobre a superfície de uma mica, um mineral presente nos dispositivos tecnológicos onde circulam emojis, empresta à expressão das imagens e animações qualidades plásticas dos fósseis vegetais. In Search of the Forgotten Image é uma obra poética e especulativa, onde se experimentam processos de representação do não-humano e reflexões sobre a matéria pós-natural, convocando um importante diálogo contemporâneo sobre o papel da mediação tecnológica na nossa relação com a natureza.”
