Curso de Formação CARPEAR PATRIMÓNIO, JUNCAR LINGUAGENS ARTÍSTICAS

The training course “CARPEAR PATRIMÓNIO, JUNCAR LINGUAGENS ARTÍSTICAS” was a training initiative organised as part of the Rota do Sentir and dedicated to promoting cultural heritage through its integration with contemporary artistic practices.

The course was characterised by creativity, reflection on heritage and the convergence of different artistic expressions. The participants presented proposals that reveal new ways of viewing, interpreting and valuing the region, its memories and identities, drawing on two sources of inspiration: the “Carpear património”, associated with the manual processing of fibres (such as wool), suggesting the act of working with, restoring and caring for heritage and traditional knowledge; and the “Juncar linguagens artísticas”, which associates the verb to weave (“to cover”, “to intertwine”) with the reed, a material used in traditional crafts, conveying the idea of weaving together different forms of artistic expression.

All this is because heritage – whether tangible, intangible, natural or human – can be seen as raw material for contemporary creative processes, involving artists, educators and cultural practitioners, and expanding both geographical and imaginative horizons.
