What happens when a bird’s nest becomes a tiny stage?
The “NINHOabrigo” workshops challenged children and young people in the municipality of Gondomar to transform birdhouses into literary worlds.
From 30 short stories, we created miniature theaters, transforming the written word into a three-dimensional world, akin to miniature theater. From this collective creative process, a vast forest of diverse narratives blossomed, reflecting the identity of each group we worked with.
The magic happened when we peeked inside: the nests opened up, and the stories took flight.

art installation

The environment that surrounds us is inspiring, a source of dialogue between public space and art. Thus, artistic installations integrate urban and rural spaces, whether through events and initiatives, or informally, presenting themselves to everyone. Art can and should be present outside galleries and exhibition spaces, there too, but not only there. Whether through guest artists or intergenerational community programs, the installation of art in public spaces is a statement. Art is important in our daily lives, whether in harmony or as a confrontation of ideas and concepts that encourage us to reflect. And suddenly, while walking, the individual finds themselves in front of the work, the installation, breaking the routine through art. And so thoughts, reflections, or the simple aesthetic contemplation of something that arises unexpectedly are instigated, placing the individual's mind in a place of artistic reality.
