Holocenose is a collaborative research project between the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto (FBAUP)and the Portuguese Foundry Association (APF). The initiative follows five artist-researchers from FBAUP as they investigate and experiment with industrial foundry processes, bridging the gap between contemporary artistic practice and traditional manufacturing. The project culminates in an exhibition of five original works at the Torre Oliva in São João da Madeira, scheduled for completion in May 2026.
As the multimedia coordinator and editor, I am responsible for the project's entire visual and digital identity. My work includes the photographic and video documentation of the technical research phases, which will be synthesized into a feature documentary detailing the creation of each artwork. Furthermore, I am the editor of the project’s forthcoming book and the developer of the official website, ensuring a cohesive narrative across physical and digital platforms. This ongoing project demonstrates my ability to manage complex, long-term institutional collaborations, translating industrial and academic research into high-quality cultural assets.
