Why we need your support and why it is important for us to go to Res Artis Regional Meeting Vilnius and Nida
Espaço Moagem is a century old industrial building situated in the village of São Pedro do Corval, Alentejo, Portugal. It was an olive oil mill and later on also a flour mill. The building was almost in ruins when recently a group of people decided to join forces and start a social, cultural and artistic project having in mind its potential as a whole, not only to save the beautiful building from neglect and ruin but to bring it back to a new life for the benefit of the local community.
One of the ideas for the Espaço Moagem is to use it as an art residency project open to local, national and international artists. Being part of Res Artis would be very beneficial because being a member of this international organization would bring national and international awareness to our project. As an emerging residency project we need all the information, knowledge and support we can get in order to achieve the best results.
As São Pedro do Corval is situated in deep countryside, we believe Res Artis Regional Meeting would be very important to attend as it brings to discussion topics such as the ideas of remoteness, escape, cultural tourism, hospitality as well as a series of questions that we believe are very relevant to us and would benefit our better understanding of our residency role in our local community.
