JUXTAPOSITION
\nArtist Residency<\/p>\n

August 30th to September 12th
\nRibolhos (Castro Daire)<\/p>\n

With the ceramicist Rita Gomes<\/p>\n

An artist residency co-produced by Binaural Nodar and the Municipality of Castro Daire, through its Municipal Library, with the support of the Union of Civil Parishes of Mamouros, Alva, and Ribolhos and co-funded by the Portuguese Republic – Culture, Youth, and Sports | Directorate-General for the Arts and by the European Union, through the Creative Europe program (Tramontana Network project).<\/p>\n

For the fifth year, an artist residency is being organized in Ribolhos that takes black clay and the geographic and cultural heritage of the village as a starting point for contemporary expressions about the rural world. After Lu\u00eds Costa (2020), Nuno Vicente (2022), Ana Margarida Ferreira (2023), and Ana Carucci (2024), this year we welcome the ceramicist Rita Gomes, from the Terracotta studio (Viseu), who has family roots very close to Ribolhos.<\/p>\n

Synopsis:<\/p>\n

This is a story about our territory told through pieces of ground: clay and granite side by side, juxtaposed.
\nOne material that is molded and another that is found. A dialogue between that which transforms and that which remains.
\nThe small granite rocks collected from the Montemuro mountains, which once were part of walls for pastoral activity, now find a new place.
\nJuxtaposed with clay, they are incorporated into artistic creations made by the hands of the ceramicist Rita Gomes, herself a daughter of the land (Figueiredo de Alva).
\nIt is the clay that molds itself to the mountain stone and, through fire, crystallizes.
\nNow, its form only makes sense next to that piece of mountain landscape.
\nEach piece holds a tension between fragility and resistance, between the delicacy of the surface worked by hand and the raw presence of the stone.
\nJuxtaposition thus speaks of proximity without fusion. Of distinct materials that coexist and, in meeting, reveal new possibilities.<\/p>\n

Biography:<\/p>\n

Trained in Architecture in 2010, it was in Ceramics that, 9 years later, Rita Gomes found her vocation.
\nHer aesthetic language is characterized by organic and minimalist forms, textures, and natural colors.
\nThe ceramicist tirelessly seeks an identity linked to her roots and to the place where she grew up, drawing inspiration from the mountains and landscapes of Beira.
\nIn 2022 she created the brand Terracotta Cer\u00e2mica and opened her workshop to the public, in Viseu, providing the local community with a space that invites artistic and creative exploration and the sharing of this age-old knowledge.<\/p>\n
