The INSITA exhibition opens on 22 October at 5:00 pm at New Hand Lab, in Covilhã, and is free and open to the public.
The exhibition presents the outcomes of the project “Merendas, Piqueniques e muita conversa” (Snacks, Picnics and Plenty of Conversation), developed through a partnership between the Faculty of Arts and Letters of the University of Beira Interior, Craft Lab Fundão, Fab Lab Aldeias do Xisto and CENCAL. The project explores the dialogue between ancestral craft practices, territorial identity, sustainability and digital fabrication.
The initiative is part of “(RE)Design to Experience and Inhabit the Territory”, within the third edition of iA* — Research in the Arts. It provides an opportunity for researchers, students, institutional partners and the wider community to come together and share their work, culminating in the publication of a book.
