A Silent Dedication
Developed in the remote village of Bravo (Sertã), this residency focused on the daily lives and resilience of women who, in a territory marked by geographical and social isolation, balance subsistence agriculture with domestic care.
Part of the “Maratona de Leitura” Literary Festival and in partnership with the local Municipality, the project captured the silent dedication of those who continue to sustain the land’s identity.
