EXHIBITION
29TH, 30TH AND 31ST MAY, 2025, 5PM TO 10PM
ESCOLA DO PARQUE . CALDAS DA RAINHA

The exhibition As treze Marias is the result of an artistic residency carried out by students of the Social Artistic Practices subject of ESAD.CR, at Escola do Parque. The exhibition was based on research into the place – a primary school opened before the Estado Novo and closed in 2011, a binary space separated by male and female sexes.
The title of this exhibition, chosen by the students, refers to the Três Marias, icons of feminism with the publication of “Novas Cartas Portuguesas” (New Portuguese Letters) during the dictatorship, a symbol of the fight for freedom of expression and women’s rights.

Artistic residency for the students of Social Arts Practices at the Escola do Parque

ARTISTIC RESIDENCY
APRIL 2ND UNTIL JUNE 4TH OF 2025
ESCOLA DO PARQUE . CALDAS DA RAINHA

The artistic residency is divided into three stages: one of research based on the material and immaterial heritage of the place – a primary school inaugurated before the Estado Novo and deactivated in recent years, followed by a period of fieldwork, exploring various aspects of the construction of the collaborative work. The final moment will be to share the processes, objects and conclusions of the residency period in a site-specific, site-determined, site-oriented, site-referenced, site-conscious, siteresponsive, site-related exhibition (concepts from Miwon Kwon, in One place after another, site-specific art and locational identity, 2002).
