On that tide

CAIS association has evolved over its 25 years of history of men and women, of socially and economically vulnerable people, but also 25 years of reflection and identification of social solutions adapted to the reality and demands of today's world.
CAIS Urbana exhibition is the result of a challenge launched by the CAIS Association to Mistaker Maker to
celebrate the institution's 25th anniversary. From challenge to challenge, 27 of the main artistic national references joined this cause, and from a common base gave wings to their creativity in the construction of unique pieces.
From June to November of 2019 the pieces were exhibited, in several places of Lisbon, Porto, Coimbra and Almada. In the 21th November the pieces were exhibited at the Museu Nacional dos Coches - Picadeiro Real, in Lisbon, starting the online auction, which took place with the support and management of the renowned auctioneer Palácio do Correio Velho.
“ ‘Naquela maré’ ( On that tide) it is an expression that my father uses a lot to say 'at that time when things were difficult' and in this piece we see someone fighting that tide (of difficult things) looking for another tide that is more favorable to him” André da Loba
