ENTRE
MARGENS
PHOTOGRAPHY / TERRITORY
Entre Margens (Between river banks) was a project of artistic intervention in the historical centres of Duoro region cities. For three consecutive summers (2011-13), dozen of photography exhibitions were shown in the public space, complemented with performing arts show (cinema, music, theatre, dance and multi-disciplinary), together with related colloquiums.
The project aims to promote new ways of interpreting contemporary creative output, whilst reviving public spaces under the XXI Agenda: local sustainable development, cultural co-operation and environmental preservation.
Entre Margens encourages and challeges up-and-coming artists and photographers to take a fresh look at the region, rediscover a universe centred in the river, the wine and its people, but not only defined by these elements.
Entre Margens was curated and coordinated by the Cultural Association Procur.arte and promoted by the Museu do Douro Foundation. It gathers the support of eight municipalities of the Douro region - Amarante, Lamego, Mirandela, Pesi da Régua, Oporto, Santa Marta de Penaguião, Vila Nova de Gaia and Vila Real - and it is partially financed by the regional fund QREN ON.2 - Large Cultural Events.
Entre Margens was presented at Fête de l’Europe in Bordeaux in May 2012, and in Lisbon in March/April 2013.
In these three years, Entre Margens bought to the Douro:
12 guest photographers
31 emergent photographers
34 exhibitions
600 photo
85 shows
10 workshops
5 International conferences
