Multimedia artist Miguel Faro proposes a crossed
exploration of personal and collective universes through the relations between
objects and their image. The workshop’s participants will choose and photograph
objects from their domestic sphere which will later occupy the public urban
space by being projected into selected spaces in Quinta do Loureiro. This
process will promote expression using tools and concepts of contemporary
creation such as performance, installation, framing, composition and symbolism.

between them are recurring themes of his work. More recently he has worked in
