Collaborative Creation

In June 2019, I collaborated on the artistic design and production of the Alvoco da Serra summer festival. Working closely with local residents, this project transformed the village’s public space through handmade decorations that reflect its rural soul. Developed in partnership with designer Susana António and organized by “Aldeias de Montanha” with the publisher “Have a Nice Day,” the intervention used raw materials and collective craft to celebrate the intersection of tradition, memory, and the vibrant spirit of the mountain community.

Em junho de 2019, colaborei no design artístico e na produção do festival de verão de Alvoco da Serra. Trabalhando em estreita colaboração com os residentes locais, este projeto transformou o espaço público da aldeia através de elementos decorativos manuais que refletem a sua alma rural. Desenvolvida em parceria com a designer Susana António e organizada pelas “Aldeias de Montanha” com a editora “Have a Nice Day”, esta intervenção utilizou matérias-primas e o artesanato coletivo para celebrar a interseção entre a tradição, a memória e o espírito vibrante da comunidade serrana.

The Approach

Before approaching, consider:

My perspective is my rarest resource.
Rigor driven by intent and elegance — never a trend.
A commitment to singularity, not volume.
Time is limited. High-impact projects only.
