BIO
Rita Gascão Nunes is the guest artist from November and December to work with the collective Art & Craft Refúgio on the macramé technique.
Rita Gascão Nunes was born in Lisbon, where she He graduated in Law, but quickly realized that this was not his calling, and the world of arts always aroused his curiosity. As a child, her grandmother taught her how to embroider, knit, crochet, weaving and her passion for textiles began there. Later, already residing in Minde, he came into contact with the wool textile industry and the manual weaving of Mantas de Minde, thus emerging his interest and passion for threads and textile art. Since 2014, she has attended courses and workshops in macramé, weaving, Esmyrna, punch needle, embroidery and felting, and has been experimenting with new techniques and materials, in order to create pieces with their own identity. More recently, he participated in the tufting studio, part of the European OPEN UP Project, which took place at the New Hand Lab, Covilhã. In October 2022 he was part of a collective exhibition at New Hand Lab, as a result of his participation in the European project, OPEN UP. From July to October 2023, he exhibited at MIAT – Museu Industrial e Artesanal Têxtil, in Mira de Aire. At the moment, she is exploring the arraiolos technique, mixing it with other techniques and materials in order to create and innovate in the pieces she creates. As a result of this trajectory, in 2018 she created the brand “Rita na Lua”, a name that expresses her creativity and constant dissatisfaction, always seeking to innovate, create and do. The artist works with interior decorators and decoration stores where she sells her pieces.

ABOUT
Since May 2021, a group of migrants and refugees, from various parts of the world, and local artists have come meeting at Largo Residências to speak through the common language of arts and crafts. Since then, several experiments in engraving, drawing, illustration, collages, embroidery, bookbinding, collage and screen printing have been carried out to explore each person's languages, in order to intertwine all these stories and project them into beautiful objects, of a postcard to a notebook. These objects will be sold at craft fairs and markets.
