A arte de ser àrvore
This spring, Alex Cassal, Clélia Colonna, and Costanza Givone completed a residency at the Jardim Botânico do Porto.
For several days, they traversed the gravel and moss-clad paths weaving through the trees of this small urban woodland. Together, they explored the strata of time deposited within its soil, the slow-motion memory of trunk growth, and the silent tension between roots and concrete—juxtaposing the discreet rustle of leaves with the relentless hum of highway traffic, akin to river waters rushing over stones.
They met with specialists Joana Tinoco and Iúri Frias, whom they presented with an array of inquiries.
From these encounters flourished a text destined to become a podcast, set to be premiered at "O Tempo das Árvores" event on July 24, 2026, na Galeria da Biodiversidade in Porto. The audio mastering will be executed by Joaquim Durães.
Further information to follow shortly.
