FIO | Memórias como Matéria-Prima*

The artistic proposal of FIO took place in 4 (four) phases, both in terms of typology of work and different in relation to the level of community participation that is intended to be achieved, more or less active, although in all desirous of creating direct links with the community, be it an artistic, historical, family or simply local community.

After a first approach to the last inhabitants of the Convent, which was the work base of the entire FIO...

...started the artistic activities, promoting a stencil workshop led by the renowned urban artist Samina, with open participation to all the community.

This ended, with the painting of the work produced at strategic sites, communicating the whole intention of this project, but also, announcing the opening of the Convent as a cultural equipment to the city.

FIO and all the accumulation of memories registered in the previous phases of work, was extended and cemented in the city of Coimbra and surroundings, through a large mural painting intervention in a prominent place.

Something that was repeated in the interior of the Convent São Francisco, inviting the entire community to this (re)discovery.
