​Margins, Cuttings, and Leaves: Traces and Processes 
Nina Fraser & Guests: Art & Craft Refúgio


The exhibition Margins, Cuttingss, and Leaves: Traces and Processes stems from the artist residency led by artist Nina Fraser in collaboration with participants of Art & Craft Refúgio, who were invited to revisit their memories and lived experiences through experimentation with materials, using the garden at Jardins do Bombarda as a starting point.
Inspired by processes and methodologies found in nature—including mycelium, understood as a metaphor for connection, transformation, and continuity—the residency approached loss not as disappearance, but as a space for renewal and creation. The traces gathered from the environment became a shared language, giving rise to a collaborative work and a series of individual artist's books, in dialogue with the artist's previous works and with the very creative processes that run through the exhibition.
Amidst margins, cutouts, and layers of material, the exhibition reveals itself as a living territory of memory, gesture, and continuous transformation and artistic creation.

Thursday 14 May, 6.30 - 8.30pm

Atlas Coletivo : Inventário de uma paisagem,
Casa Avenida, Setubal, 16 - 24 April 2026

Happily I was able to participate with a some drawings for the exhibition of the artist book created from the 18 month project devised by Atlas Coletivo (Fernando Brito, Ema Inácio, Humberto Brito and Sérgio Godinho)
​
​The initiative takes the form of an artistic residency grounded in an ongoing research process, aiming to foster reflection on landscape and territory while encouraging participatory artistic creation. The project is structured around the route of the Tejo-Sado Fluvial Canal – an infrastructure planned over approximately 250 years but never realized – establishing a unique relationship between historical archives and contemporary territory.
Based on existing documentation, the exhibition proposes the superimposition of two maps: one of a historical and documentary nature, and another emerging from artistic and experimental research. This second map takes shape as an “atlas of memories of the future,” where symbolic, metaphorical, and sensory dimensions engage with – and challenge – the notion of objectivity.
​
Supported by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, the project also includes a series of six public events along the route between Alcochete and Setúbal, promoting collective engagement and the development of new perspectives on the region’s (sub)urban and rural territories, their history, and their possible futures.
