How did this grant contribute to the realization of your project in regard to artistic exchange, local cultural development and/or the promotion of cultural diversity?

“Post-industrial space: curating, designing, transforming” is the title of the conference, whose goal is to establish a dialogue in Guimarăes 2012 with a group of professionals – institution directors, architectural authors, curators and other cultural agents – actively working and researching on industrial buildings transformed into cultural centers (appropriated, adapted, rebuilt, as well as ruins of industrial settlements). This was a trip for the implementation of the project and there was a number of visits previously made to develop the project.

Can you elaborate on the learning and knowledge you have gained and shared throughout this experience?

For me as a curator is essential to move dynamically, meet artists, curators and other relevant professionals to expand professional network and expand my practice.
