Until the river tires out
Até o cansar do rio

by Teresa Coutinho Até o cansar do rio

This project is a visual exploration of the symbiotic relationship between water and the feminine as the foundation of life in the region. Through a sensitive visual language, the images create a moment of silence and communion with the intimacy of the landscape, following the river’s water as the narrative thread. Physical geography blurs with emotional geography, entering a fertile universe that demands full attention. One must reach the core, dive in headfirst, and listen — until the river tires out.

OPENING – 28 July - 19:00h

  • Date: 29 July to 20 September 2025
  • Location: Casa da Cultura de Melgaço

Teresa Coutinho is a 24-year-old visual artist based in Lisbon. She studied Psychology at the University of West London and Photography at Ar.Co, and also took part in the “Mutantes” project by CCB and BoCA. Her work, mainly in analogue format and both in colour and black and white, revolves around intimate themes and her personal universe. Through a diaristic and sensitive visual language, she explores the emotional dimension of the image and focuses on the possibility of knowing – and making known – through the act of looking.
