Three designers born in Loul\u00e9 return to their origins with a new vision, promoting the encounter with artisans and join the universe of tradition and innovation in order to create products that will have Loul\u00e9 soul.<\/p>\n
Continuing the path that the municipality of Loul\u00e9 has been doing in order to grasp its heritage, arts and crafts, the residence rises as an opportunity to promote the dialogue between traditional knowledge and a more conceptual and contemporary thinking. The inland and its traditions are going to be the laboratory to create, think and share what will happen in this project close to the local community.
\nThe residence opens in the 10th September with the conference \u201cAbout the future of craft traditions\u201d. It will gather researchers, designers and institutions, to discuss strategies on how to combine craft traditions in the line of cultural and economic significance for contemporary society. It will have as guests Fernando Poeiras (Investigator and teacher of ESAD), D\u00e1lia Paulo (Commissioner of the Programme to Support Arts in the Algarve) and \u00c1lbbio Nascimento (Designer).<\/p>\n
Between the 12th and 16th of September, open daily to everyone, there will be in the late afternoon, walking classes and gatherings on different aspects of local heritage, \u201cMedieval Loul\u00e9\u201d, \u201cModern Loul\u00e9\u201d, \u201cCrafts in historical shops\u201d, \u201cFood from the earth\u201d and \u201cTransforming the earth\u201d. These meetings are going to be streamlined by researchers, knowledgeable and passionate by local heritage that will bring insight and inspiration to the residence.<\/p>\n
On the 22nd september, Project TASA will present 12 new products that join traditional crafts from the Algarve and design, made in the councils of Alcoutim, Silves and Loul\u00e9. In this presentation there will also be a conversation with institutions, artisans and designers involved.
\nOn Saturday, the 24th September, in the privileged public circuit of the Cerca of the Convento, there is going to be a weaving circle, gathering artisans from the council of Loul\u00e9 and all those eager to learn and try the different ways of managing the palm, an icon of the traditional crafts in this territory.<\/p>\n
Also on Saturday, late afternoon, there is going to be a preliminary presentation of the experiments created in the first two weeks of the residence. The nine products born from the residence will be further developed and will be displayed in December. The purpose is that these products endear and increase the handcraft production in the council, bringing it to another level, where there is more probability of its continuation. The residence will involve nine artisans of areas such as metal, palm, basketry, leather, wood, wool, pottery, a production of traditional pastry and three designers born in Loul\u00e9, which have developed their carriers all around the country and the world. Promoted by the Municipality of Loul\u00e9, with the trusteeship of Henrique Ralheta, it also has the support in the organization by Proactivetur\/Projecto TASA.
