Binaural Nodar and the Municipality of Castro Daire, through its Municipal Library and within the scope of the Memory on Wheels project, will host, from the 17th of May until the end of the month of October, a long creative public art residency in the civil parish of Mões and in the civil parish of Almofala.
This creative residency is entitled “Rural collective memories” and will be developed by two Spanish visual artists, from the Valencian Community, Alba Boscà and Mar Roca Macián, both final-year students of the Fine Arts course at the Polytechnic University of Valencia and who will be in Portugal under an Erasmus + European internship.
Throughout their stay in Castro Daire, the two artists will develop art interventions in several public spaces of local rural villages, through participatory methodologies that promote the identification by the populations of the creations and their connection to aspects of the local collective memory, namely to agricultural and shepherding activities, remarkable events and personalities, desires and expectations and elements of the local cultural heritage.
