#8 Excursion to the nearby landscape+info
22 jul / 10h - 17h
What we take from the works of the artists Sofia Caetano and Abbas Akhavan, we will observe in Sete Cidades. This is an excursion to be between the natural and the artificial, because the landscape is sometimes not what it seems. Thus, going through the Serra Devassa in a search for the balance between us and nature, we will understand the origin and life of organisms and we will arrive at Ponta dos Carneiros with other perceptions of the territory.
