Formas sónicas das plantas – Drawing and sound workshop with Escola de Desenho Inconvencional
The Escola de Desenho Inconvencional proposes a series of moments - like radio stations - where we record the auditory nature of the Crystal Palace Gardens. In each place, we'll create a moment of capture: the sound is extracted and transferred to images scratched on paper, or digitally, as sonic waves.Art, science and technology are the branches of this ping! workshop, which we want to bring out different sensations. Let's feel, touch and draw the sound of the plant beings that grow and expand endlessly in these gardens...In a variety of ways, we'll think about drawing and listening far beyond what we learn at school, bringing new perspectives on the plant world, full of sensitive and communicative beings.To participate, all interested groups can register through the email galeriamunicipal@agoraporto.pt.Miguel Ângelo was born in Guimarães in 1994. An ever-expanding visual artist, he completed his Master's degree in Fine Arts at the Caldas da Rainha School of Arts and Design (2023) and his Bachelor's degree at the same school (2016). He founded the Escola de Desenho Inconvencional in 2020 and since then has worked on art education and art liberation projects with schools, institutions and associations.Since 2021, he has been part of the Coletivo PALMA together with Catarina Braga, an artistic project focused on ecological issues.In his paintings and drawings, he works with archival sources, fiction and memory, looking for compositions that rewrite canonical images to imagine another subject. These themes are represented in a rich color palette, with an attention to light and space that gives the work a psychological depth and narrative.He has been exhibiting regularly since 2015, including the group exhibitions Fazer Arbítrio, Centro Cultural Vila Flor (2024); Hammer Time, Zaratan Arte Contemporânea, Lisbon (2023), Drowning Room, Cosmos CAC, Lisbon (2023), O Verdadeiro lado da Manta; a proposal by Sara & André at Centro Cultural Vila Flor, Guimarães (2022), PREMIERE at Centro de Artes de Meymac, France (2022), Sem Medo, Casa das Artes de Tavira, Tavira (2021) and the solo shows Things that can be thrown, Salão dos Recusados, Leiria (2024); Os Algoritmos da Pintura at Centro de Artes das Caldas da Rainha(2021) Resistir a todos os traumas, Galeria Verso Branco, Lisbon (2019); the artist residencies also stand out: If this plant could talk, OSSO Coletivo, (2023) Masks with Damian Ortega, Centro Botin Santander (2022) and Unrevelling the Myth , CAU Cortém (2021). -

Oficina Pedrêz
Blues of our time
The duo behind the project, Matilde Cabral and Francisco Fonseca, conceived the different blues according to multiple meanings: from the ideas of Louis Kahn when who said that "a square is nothing more than a façade facing the sky", to the reference to the blue objects that, inexplicably, resisted the fires in Maui, Hawaii; one can even recognise on those surfaces the continental masses and oceans that permeate the planet.Oficina Pedrêz is an experimental architecture studio in the fields of material research and human ecologies. It was founded by the fashion designer Matilde Cabral and the architect Francisco Fonseca in 2020, following the fusion of the “Porto Fashion Office” development studio and the “Skrei” experimental architecture office. Pedrêz takes its name from a breed of chicken native to northern Portugal and Cantabria – the pedrês chicken – in recognition of its fundamental role in the human and urban ecology of these regions. Pedrêz is an integrative architecture workshop, with a particular focus on architectural devices and self-built projects, bringing together various lines of applied research, such as cultivable building materials and the development of self-sufficient domestic infrastructures.A project commissioned by Galeria Municipal do Porto / Ágora – Cultura e Desporto, do Porto E.M., S.A. -
