Soraia Gomes Teixeira will lead a community artistic activation in the architectural installation designed by ATA Atelier, located in the Quinta da Capela housing development, as part of the architecture and art festival Forma da Vizinhança.
Centred around site-specific objects created for the location, the proposal invites the neighbourhood to engage in a performative experience focused on slowing down, self-care, touch, and attentive listening.
With a practice that weaves together design and social reflection, Soraia explores the symbolic power of objects as a way to foster new relationships — among neighbours, with the surrounding space, and with time itself. Her activation at Quinta da Capela proposes to transform the everyday into a space of encounter, care, and shared imagination.

SORAIA GOMES TEIXEIRA
Soraia Gomes Teixeira (1990, Vila Nova de Gaia) is an independent designer based in Porto. She holds a master’s degree in Product Design from the School of Arts and Design in Caldas da Rainha (2016) and a BA in Industrial Design from the Polytechnic Institute of Porto (2012). She is currently undertaking a PhD in Investigación en Diseño y Arte at EINA – Centre Universitari de Disseny i Art de Barcelona and UAB – Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, where she is developing a thesis on design and aesthetic experience in the revelation of human behaviours. Her work spans object design, scenography, and artistic residencies, developed in collaboration with a range of organisations such as Pó-de-vir-a-ser, Vai-Vem Editora, Museu do Aljube, Istanbul Design Biennial, RARA, Burel Factory, and Assimagra. Her practice is rooted in research and the continuous exploration of socially-oriented themes. Through objects – and at times their symbolic value – her work seeks to raise questions, propose new possibilities, and explore relationships between people, as well as between past and future.
Alongside her practice, she is a visiting lecturer in the Design
