Description
This exercise seeks to integrate a relational/affective dimension, with the surrounding context, while exploring this old print processe technic in tones of blue, discovered in 1842 by the english astronomer Sir John Herschel.
Attendees guided through the principles of cyanotype handcrafted photography, will be asked to select an object, a significant representation of their relation to the place/situation / work environment.
A image is obtained by contacting the selected objects with a previously sensitised surface.
A small narrative will be elaborated putting together all the participants description of their piece.
Considering the ‘model’ represents the choices with meaning of part of a group, and in accordance to the definition of the humanist geography, the result obtained is the place as a form of human experience.
Benefits
This exercise promotes creativity, a sense of awe, observing the photographic image appear just like magic, relaxation, abstract thinking, self knowledge, collective notion and team building.

About the Host
I am an artist-mediator, interested in promoting wellbeing. Throughout my life I have been working towards promoting (self) awareness through art and creativity, first as a Visual Education teacher, an Art Therapist and lately working with companies. Artists have always been aware of the impact of artistic mediation and nowadays scientific evidence has confirmed its importance in the development of soft skills and mental health.
With a background in Education, MA Fine arts and Design, Post graduation in Art Therapy and History of Art. I combine all my knowledge and use a different range on technics, from convencional ones like painting, collage, artisanal photography, to performance and creative movement, able to create stimulating workshops tailored to the needs and preferences of companies.
I create my own programs with sessions in my studio (Lisbon), as well as I go to companies or other spaces such as hotels, Museus, etc. I Have a long experience working with multinational companies across various sectors, such as Estée Lauder, L’Oreal, Voltalia, Santander, MEO and other portuguese corporations, like Vanguard Properties, Nova University, CEEIA. I create as well, art residences programs and visits to exhibitions.
