Project about three fishing communities that reflects the coexistence of people connected to the sea in these three places in the Porto Metropolitan Area.
It builds an interdisciplinary artistic practice, where photography, text, interviews, music and design coexist with the aim of raising the importance of the life stories of people with a personal and professional passion for the sea.
This project integrates a contemporary approach, in which two forms of photographic representation coexist that accompany the development of the history of photography, in these almost two centuries that it has existed: family or popular photography (as Liz Wells calls it, to avoid what she considers reductive in the popular term), which had an important contribution to the construction of photography and memory: and professional authorial and expository photography, which appears here with a contemporary interpretive intervention, carried out in the studio by five authors - photographers capable of live in contrast and harmony.

f/est Amarante - Festival Internacional de Fotografia
27.05.2022 - 03.07.2022
This exhibition is being held by invitation of the f/est Amarante photography festival, which in its first edition is centered around the theme of "Re-photography".
In the 1990s, when thinkers such as Robins, Manovich, and Mitchell predicted the death of photography, it would still be some time before we saw the changes in grammars and concepts, forms and depths of the medium. However, everything indicated that there would be a new paradigm that would lead us to a collective exercise in rethinking photography.
A slow period without parallel began, perhaps the most important in the history of photography, in which authors from all over the world would react to established academicism and, consequently, reflect on how to restart the paths of the image that were almost exhausted. They distanced themselves from the idea of capture and accumulation and delved deeper into the concept. Reusing images and re-photographing them would henceforth be a constant effort to re-signify our vision and existence here.
As we journey through the old Matias Factory, the different proposals of the artists create transitions between the personal and the political, making it difficult to distinguish what is strictly one or exclusively the other. This reminds us of the famous slogan "the personal is political", a phrase that became popular in the 1970s after the publication of Carol Hanisch's essay "The Personal Is Political", which, like this exhibition, seeks to highlight the connections between personal experience and large social and political structures. In short, through individual discourses that remap the margins, we arrive at a global discourse that rebalances and hypsographs a new center.
