Caminho pro Mar
Caminho pro Mar was one of the projects that were predominant in my mind in 2022. A year full of hard times but also an important year to remind me who I am, where I am and who and where I want to be. Sometimes we learn from joy, sometimes we learn from pain, and Caminho pro Mar is about that. About the path to be thread, through time and space, in a lifetime, in generations.

I've had the joy to develop and present this concept in two opportunities this year. The first one as a walking audiovisual path in the village of Pruno (IT) during the Festival Solstizio d'Estate, promoted by @i_raggi_di_belen and after the kind invitation of my dear friend Alessandro Vangelisti, born and raised in that magical place. The story of my family's migration from Italy to Brazil and back again after five generations had inspired me to question the poetic role of the sea in our fears and expectations when imagining and planning our future.

Facing the sea, you can see the uncertain future.
The meeting between sky and sea as a destination.
The future beyond the blue of the ocean.

The second, inside the context of the residency Ecos da Ida e do Retorno, promoted by the Binaural Nodar and the passionate work of Luis Gomes da Costa and his team, about the migration fluxus in Lafões region, more specific in the village of Vouzela (PT). The challenge of being far from the sea and the unique stories I had the honor to listen to while interviewing Portuguese and Brazilian people that lives in the region gave me another level of contact with that concept, our stories, our history and the feelings that envolves migration, the saudade and belongings.
