Common Sense
Senso Comum

by André de Abreu

This project seeks to document and compare archaic practices and the knowledge they carry, passed down from generation to generation, such as agriculture and animal husbandry for subsistence, which are on the verge of disappearing or industrial transformation. On the other hand, it is important to reflect on the environmental impacts of these practices.


OPENING - 29 July - 19:00h

  • Date: 29 July to 20 September 2024
  • Location: Casa da Cultura de Melgaço
