humusidades

Installation, publication and talks

The results of a collective process of re-founding and imagining shelters for habitability.

Motivated by a shared curiosity about two homonymous places separated by the Atlantic Ocean – the island of Fundão, in Rio de Janeiro, and the city of Fundão in Portugal – 30 people from the two countries participated in a collective research project. Starting with different meanings of the word “Fundão” (the deepest part of a river or lowest part of a valley, for example), we speculated about other possible “Fundões” as an alternative for regeneration and as a refuge for habitability. The result of this process is the card game Refundão and an arts installation resulting from the works generated in the collective process.
