Loulé Criativo will be present, from February 5th to March 8th, at the Madrid Design Festival with the exhibitions “Cabeças Feitas” and “Aligned by the Same Wool”.
 “LINED UP BY THE SAME WOOL” “Aligned by the Same Wool” is the result of an artistic residency dedicated to the enhancement of the wool of the Churra Algarvian sheep, one of the most identitarian indigenous breeds in the territory. Over several months, seven textile artists followed the entire wool cycle — from the field to the studio — exploring its material, symbolic and expressive potential. The process gave rise to pieces that reveal memory, time and gesture, in a sensitive dialogue between tradition and contemporaneity. 📍 Venue: Laskasas Madrid C. de Padilla, 17, Salamanca, Madrid 📅 February 5 to March 8 🥂 Opening: February 5 | 10:00-20:00 Free admission.  “MADE HEADS” “Cabeças Feitas” brings together about 50 creators from the creative community of Loulé, invited to develop lids for pots that go beyond their utilitarian function, in an exercise of personification of the object. Each participant was challenged to put their technical skills into perspective and to experiment with new languages, in a collective reflection on the present and future of traditional know-how. 📍Venue: Hotel Pestana Collection Plaza Mayor, C. Imperial, 8, Centro, Madrid 📅 February 5 to March 8 🥂 Opening: February 6 | 7:30 pm Free admission. Learn more here: https://madriddesignfestival.lafabrica.com/programa/exposiciones-e-instalaciones/ |
