Over the course of this year, the Guarda Rios collective has developed a series of activities in the Alviela river area: the Escola Rio project with 5th graders from schools in Alcanena and Minde, the Sediment Laboratory through a series of residencies with guest artists, the Alviela River Observatory, a public participation and river literacy project held on the Olhos de \u00c1gua river beach, the \u2018Between Two Weirs\u2019 performance walk as part of the Alcanena Walking Festival and, finally, a series of public participation sessions in collaboration with Rios Livres GEOTA and ISCTE, with the aim of getting the Alviela’s communities to understand the advantages of removing obsolete barriers.<\/p>\n
All these processes resulted in a variety of artistic objects in different media, which they now share in an exhibition in the auditorium of the Centro Ci\u00eancia Viva do Alviela.<\/p>\n
This exhibition includes the impossible meanders designed by Marta Castelo, made with paints based on pigments from soil collected in the Alviela, the ceramic objects that gave rise to the participatory performance Beber das Pedras, evoking the solid flow of a river, created in collaboration with Ant\u00f3nia Labaredas and Jo\u00e3o Ferro Martins, and the film Diatom\u00e1ceas e Hifomicetos – parte II, a film that plays with and is inspired by the microbial life that exists in water, which was painted and drawn collaboratively by 120 students from the Alcanena and Minde schools directly onto 16mm film.<\/p>\n
The Guarda Rios collective is a structure funded by DGArtes\/Ministry of Culture, which had the support and partnership of Materiais Diversos, the Rios Livres GEOTA programme (funded by DIMFE and the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation) and the Municipality of Alcanena for the development of its work on the River Alviela.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
