In the year of the centenary of the birth of Joseph Beuys (1921-1986), BoCA creates the project “A Defesa da Natureza” [“Defense of Nature”], a collaboration aimed at promoting new artistic creations.

Curated by Delfim Sardo and Sílvia Gomes, “Quero ver as minhas montanhas” [“I want to see my mountains”] counts on the participation of the artists Sara Bichão, Diana Policarpo, Dayana Lucas, Gustavo Sumpta, Gustavo Ciríaco, Musa paradisiaca and Berru.

The premise invites artists to look at Beuys’s legacy while observing their own mountains, their own ‘selves’.

With diverse backgrounds and artistic genres from plastic to the performing arts, each artist is invited to conceive a single intervention to be held by the sea, the river or in a green space, nurturing affinities between art and nature.

Seven unique sessions for every Sunday of the programme, set between Lisbon, Almada and Faro.

Dayana Lucas' “Cair Para o Alto” [“Fall Up”] is a performance of writing and drawing in space. The desire to burn is written with water. An evaporating body is drawn, a body that goes to the end to start again.

Sunday, October 10th, 2021, 5pm, at Fábrica da Cerveja, in Faro.
