Bordering ruralities<\/strong><\/p>\n

An artistic residency by Jorge Pascual and Lu\u00eds Costa, held in eight places bordering the city of Viseu: Pascoal, Abraveses, Santiago, Rio de Loba, Ranhados, Repeses, Orgens and Campo. The field work carried out, in the context of a creative project that from now on is entitled \u201cBordering Ruralities\u201d, brought together poetic texts, chronicles, photography, video, soundscapes and orality, with the aim of constructing various formats of presentation, to be published soon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe project arose from an interest in collaborating and adding to this collaboration with Lu\u00eds Costa our different origins and also our specific artistic development. Objects or customs belonging to city dwellers sometimes disappear momentarily, only to reappear in a second life or with other owners; This was the beginning of my project “Hiking Peripheries” San Sebasti\u00e1n \/ Donostia 2019 funded by the Deputation of Culture of Guip\u00fazcoa, and it was the background to start this new collaboration, albeit with a different perspective, in which two persons walk with their own look from the rural towards the urban. Walking has become something exceptional and talking about walking is a proposal to return to slowness, and is also a social and political response to the transformations that occur in our ways of life.\u201d (Jorge Pascual)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWhere do you draw the line between what is a city and what is already something else? What specificities can the rural arc of an interior city like Viseu have? How has the landscape of this rural\/urban frontier changed over time? What can the senses detect about life in these places, which today are in transition? \u201dThese questions result from almost twenty years of personal observations in rural areas of the Viseu region, associated with collections and creative projects carried out\/hosted by Binaural Nodar, feeling a slow but constant evanescence of the more traditional rural life and its replacement gradually by new generations and by their ways of life, no longer (so) based on food production, which ends up modifying the very landscape of places. The collaboration with Jorge Pascual turns out to be a way of proposing an external perspective, of someone used to thinking and creating from \u201coblique views\u201d. He is the one who arrives from the outside and who sees things that, often, the locals seem to no longer detect, due to the force of day-to-day habits.\u201d (Luis Costa)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
