Selected via the open call launched earlier this year, the collaborative project from singer-songwriter chica and bá alvares, double-bass player and key figure of some of the most fertile and diverse musical scenes in Lisbon, seeks to grapple, in Castro Marim, the problematics of “society’s undesirables”, an expression utilized by the Estado Novo to define punishment by exile over decades of repression in the not so distant past.

Following previous research work and interviews focused on this historical question, chica and bá alvares will develop new songs and lyrics based on the resources generated from this investigation - creating a dialogue with past and present lives, in a sharing of ‘despair’, which, as is often said, is “the essence of protest songs”. These new songs of sorrow will be presented live at Velho Cavalinho - Taberna Medieval, on the afternoon of the 24th of June (6PM), in a concert where admission is free to all.

Clara Cortes Garcia (1990) is a multidisciplinary artist born in Barcelona whose main subject is water. She has done projects, solo and group performances/ exhibitions/ shows/ installations in Barcelona, Berlin, Istanbul, Kuala Lumpur, Taiwan, Iceland and Tokyo. Her work is always linked to the space that surrounds her.
During her artistic residency in Castro Marim (for which she was selected following the Open Call put in place earlier this year) she will continue her decade-long research into water. She will record sounds and videos of the shapes/forms that can be found at the Guadiana river, the Atlantic Ocean and the Odeleite and Beliche dams, with the aim of transforming and distorting them to create an archive of a parallel perceptual reality of the experience of walking around them.
The work will be shown as an a/v installation at Casa do Sal, which opens on May 31st at 5pm and will last until June 11th.

David Ole is a Portuguese musician and craftsman, born in Braga in 1991. Having been initiated in the realm of musical mysteries at the early age of 6, he’s been sharing his art on stage since 2009, turning matter, energy and intelligence into compositions and live performances using saxophone, percussion, custom software and a wealth of hyperinstruments. His work maneuvers sound, music and action to explore relationships between real and unreal things, magic and technology, lucidity and schizophrenia. He’s a member of several band and musical projects in the north of Portugal ranging an uncommon diversity of genres.
In this artistic residency, stemming from the Open Call we launched earlier in the year, David will work on an instrumental music piece which aims to represent and interpret Castro Marim’s identity and context as a border territory via a “martial music” composition imagined as a utopic performance throughout the Guadiana International Bridge; the work will try and mimic the seismic effects of such an enterprise, and some of its excerpts will be presented and interpreted by the local Banda Musical Castromarinense, at the Municipal Library on May 13th, at 9.30pm.

Therese Næss Diesen is a Norwegian sound designer and sound artist. With a background in visual design and cinema, her work includes sound recording, foley and sound design for short and feature films, as well as various collaborations in the universe of performative arts and multimedia.
Throughout her practice with ambient sound and sound effects for movies, Therese has gradually become interested in the concept of soundscapes, exploring locations, themes and emotions through listening, recording, composition and presentation, as well as the subjective experience of sound and the way it affects physical spaces and bodies.
During her artistic residence in Castro Marim (the final one curated by our partner NyMusikk), the premise is the composition of a piece consisting of sounds captured in the municipality, and will be presented on the 5th of May, at 9PM, as part of the Meeting on Art and Agroecology organized by Associação Catavento, at Quinta da Fornalha.
