Drawing from the exhibition “?MÃE?”, we will enter a universe where the figure and the word 'mother' are translated and manifested in various ways: whether through writing, drawing, the creation of objects (such as mini-installations), and endless other verbalizations.
In this workshop, we invite mother and child duos to dive into the universe of this exhibition. We will start with the premise posed by the artists: "after all, what fits inside a mother?" From there, we will present several challenges to think about together.
Using paper, pens, scissors, and everyday objects, families will be invited to artistically interpret these questions in a relaxed and playful way. The goal is to promote new relationships of love and empathy within the mother-child team, through a shared and intimate creative process.
About the artist-educator:
ANA SALOMÉ PAIVA is a visual artist based at the Goela Association. She is interested in poetry and drawing, exploring their diverse manifestations and relationships with the body as both a medium and a political body. Over the past few years, her work has focused on poetic research regarding the female body in the form of notebooks, fanzines, self-published books, and engravings. Her most recent self-published books relate to erotic poetry and motherhood. She has been exhibiting in alternative and independent spaces since 2008.
She is involved in various pedagogical art projects across Lisbon. She was a guest artist for the "Descola - Escola Nómada" project at Eb2/3 Alta do Lumiar with the visual arts activity "My Imaginary Neighborhood." She has also provided visual arts training in classroom settings at Eb1 St. Maria Maior and in Bairro Bensaúde under the projects "Bensaúde Goes to School," "Bensaúde is Life," and "Neighborhoods that Matter," supported by the Bip-Zip Program (Priority Intervention Neighborhoods). She is the author of the visual arts workshop project "Inconstant Drawings," through which she develops projects for children, youth, and seniors in various spaces: Goela Association, the Penha de França and Marvila libraries, and the Sines Arts Center. She also leads training sessions in alternative engraving processes.
