A Recoletora will lead a community-based artistic activation within the architectural installation designed by architect Nuno Melo Sousa, located in the Parretas neighbourhood, as part of the Forma da Vizinhança architecture and art festival.
A Recoletora is an artistic and pedagogical practice dedicated to exploring the relationships between human and plant communities. Their work intersects research, inventory and mapping of spontaneous edible and medicinal plants with the recovery of both ancestral and contemporary knowledge related to the use and care of the natural world.
Their presence in the Parretas estate will take the form of an open and situated construction, in dialogue with the neighbourhood’s dynamics, activating oral tradition, foraging, and commensality as spaces of knowledge and resistance.

A RECOLETORA
A Recoletora is the artistic and pedagogical practice of visual artist Alexandre Delmar and designer Maria Ruivo, dedicated to the study of spaces of reciprocity and interaction between human and plant communities. In their work, the duo combines ongoing research, inventory and mapping of spontaneous edible and medicinal plants with the recovery of ancestral and contemporary knowledge, within a didactic approach that invites a rediscovery of the city through foraging and wandering across the territories of urban wastelands. They explore themes related to food autonomy, foraging, herbalism, know-how, landscape, memory, ethnobotany and ecological literacy, promoting collaborative actions such as cartographies, guided walks, workshops, meals, conversations, edible installations, exhibitions, and publications.
