Talude
Talude is a self-built neighborhood mostly composed of families originally from Cape Verde. It has very few businesses, a restaurant, a bar, a “distillery”, and many farms created by the inhabitants. This is an impermanent territory, which is planned to be demolished in the future for urban re-planning.

MAx will realise the project "BorderSlides" in Talude. It is an installation that can be activated by the community that will work as a border of memory, a metaphor between the immigrant context.
Manuela Bueno Romeiro (BR)

Aleksandra Naydenova (BG)
Aleksandra seeks to empower members of the community to share their stories through visual artefacts. Her goal is to provide them with the space and tools for collectively re(envisioning) the artefacts as encounters between the formal and the informal in their communities.

Rodrigo Édipo (BR)
Rodrigo (Olinda/BRA) will carry out the research-intervention "PAI DERIVA", with the aim of mapping informal oral and bodily repertoires that co-emerge from the interactions between father and child as they drift through the neighborhood. With the child as the guide, the aim is to find clues to the re-enchantment of everyday life and the emancipation of disciplinary territories, one of which is symbolically fatherhood.
