CeLEsTIAL BoDies 1 (2022)
CELESTIAL BODIES is an informal meeting to share creative practices. Foreign artists meet local artists and jointly build actions that are shared and realized with the group and the local community. Practices such as walking, ceramics, collecting, building, dancing, reading, dreaming together, which can take place both in the studio and in a public space. We spent ten days together between Moita and Lisbon. We decided that we would record these days in a notebook. We organized ourselves into pairs, who didn’t know each other beforehand. Each pair wrote down a specific moment of the meeting. This book collects the memory of that meeting.

CeLEsTIAL BoDies 2 – ResONANceS (2024)
CELESTIAL BODIES is an itinerant artistic platform that, since 2019, has brought together an international group of artists and cultural professionals from various European countries who identify as FLINTA (female, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, trans and agender). Dedicated to opening up spaces that explore meanings and practices of solidarity, care, empathy and wonder, CELESTIAL BODIES considers fragility and vulnerability as fundamental qualities for individual and community growth. RESONANCES is the third in a series of meetings and festivals (2019 in Reykjavik, 2021 in Lisbon and Moita). Held in Tuscany (Italy), the meeting brought together artists from the CELESTIAL BODIES platform and local artists.

TERRA NULLiUs (2020)
TERRA NULLIUS is a performative audiowalk that tries to capture the experience of a distant place. For a year, Paula Diogo was in Reykjavik developing a project that tried to capture an “experience of place” by combining it with personal and collective narratives. Her process was founded on two simple actions: walking and writing. The audiowalk has been redesigned in several countries and presented in places such as: Reykjavik, Lisbon, Medellín, Punta Arenas, Puerto Natales, Montevideo, Rio de Janeiro, Vila do Conde, Amiens, Kortrijk, Chuburná, Manizales, Berlin and Belgrade. The book TERRA NULLIUS is an object-archive that compiles conversations about the act of walking. It is given free of charge to each member of the public at the end of the walk.
