The first exhibition of PES_CE, “Arte, Paisagens e Turismo Sustentável”, took place at Fábrica da Criatividade and Parque do Barrocal in Castelo Branco, Portugal, from 19 July to 16 August 2024.

Supported by local agents, the artists proposed ways of reading the landscape that acknowledge ongoing transformations. Together with different publics, they explored and experimented, generating new forms, situations, and narratives that may help re-cosmize the world.

The presentation of the artists’ work in each country was always paired with a seminar and conceived in a complementary way. The exhibition was shown in both indoor and outdoor spaces and was accompanied by walks with the public and performance-based interventions.

Artists: Duarte Belo & João Abreu, Lourdes Germain, Carlos Casteleira (Iberian Cartographies); Lena Hiriartborde, Andrés Talavero, Fernando Mota (Talking Stones – individual works in the exhibition, performances in Parque do Barrocal); Erik Samakh (Lucioles – work in the exhibition, performance in Parque do Barrocal); Francisco Nave, Maude Nivet, Théo Giachetti, Meher Kafalian (workshop Alpes); Laetitia Morais (Tarde Fria); Rodrigo Braga (Ponto Zero).
