muq, Festive Memories (2023 and 2024)
Field Office Workshop 01, Royal College of Art, Bartlett College UL, Universiy of Greenwich and Architectural Association (2023)
Residency at Parque da Luz, with the support of Associação de Amigos do Parque da Luz (2024)
+ muq, Luis Eduardo Candeia and Leonardo Schreiber Schneider
Research and conceptual project in two stages
1) Workshop and Project, Field Office Workshop 01, by muq's team.
Understanding of Sayes Court, Convoys Wharf and, by extent, London’s landscape intricacies and to speculate both theoretically and by design on decolonization and the possible contributions of a queer museum practice from the global south on this complex landscape and how to understand the site as a counter-archive.
Our proposal is based in two small-powerful gestures: radically fill all the site’s free land with trees planted by marginalised communities - tackling both ecology and economy; and creating a replicable symbol for festive memories, that could enable the transgression colonialism signs.
2) Residency at Parque da Luz ( with the support of Associação de Amigos do Parque da Luz
Curatorial research to unveil the LIVING ARCHIVE of Parque da Luz, adding new layers of interpretation of the site and creating strategies to celebrate its FESTIVE MEMORIES.
Just like Convoy's Wharf in London, the Park da Luz is a LIVING ARCHIVE of ideas, occupations, desires and community resilience. The park is a complex site, the result of a long process of RADICAL PLANTING since the 1990s.
Organised by neighbours and the community, the gradual and extensive planting bequeathed to the site a dense forest that today houses a spatial archive of more or less visible layers of history and uses:
CEMETERY, GET-IN, PARK, PARTY, END OF THE CITY, CARNIVAL, CONSTRUCTION SITE, HEADBOARD.
We developed a documentary, spatial and visual research that resulted in a digital dossier that accumulates the processes of: design, prototyping, ephemeral installation, LiDAR survey, scanning of organic material, analogue and digital photos, text collages and cartography.
