Pedra Dura | Reflections and Symmetries – Drawing Workshop with Pedro Domingues
12 November | 4pm
Venue: Centro Ciência Viva de Lagos (Lagos Science Centre)
Organised by: CAMA a.c., with support from Lagos Municipality and DGArtes, in partnership with the Centro Ciência Viva de Lagos
Free entry, with registration
Part of the 5th edition of Pedra Dura – Algarve Dance Festival.
The activity starts with a short talk on reflection, the perception of symmetry and how they help build each person's identity — the different elements involved in how we recognise ourselves, represent ourselves and relate to others — followed by a hands-on drawing and self-portrait workshop. Participants are invited to explore how they represent themselves through self-portraiture, projecting elements of their identity into the image and working on the relationship between the face, visual representation and symmetry. Science and artistic expression are not presented as separate parts but are woven together throughout: reflecting on who we are becomes the starting point for how each participant chooses to portray themselves. At the end, the self-portraits will be brought together in a collective composition, a mural of identities that will be on display at the Centro Ciência Viva de Lagos. The final work will be both the artistic result of the workshop and a record of the diversity of individual identities that helped create it.
