Fio Condutor: Territory Cycle
CRL – Central Elétrica
6 and 15 June 2025
São Pedro de Azevedo e Contumil, Campanhã, Porto
Free entry
On June 6 and 15, in various spaces in São Pedro de Azevedo and Contumil (Campanhã, Porto), we’re holding a new edition of Fio Condutor – Territory Cycle, a programme dedicated to artistic creation in dialogue with the places and communities surrounding the Central Elétrica. After the artist residencies in May, we’re opening up the processes to the public.
On 6 June we present CORPO-ROUPA, by Tales Frey, at Casa das Glicínias in Contumil, an itinerant performance that transforms a group of young people into a collective body, guided by a single shared garment, where each step is negotiated in a choreography of listening, tension and complicity.
On 15 June, in collaboration with the ConGerminar project of the Fogo Lento Cultural Association, we organise a day of sharing and reflection with a talk on artistic and pedagogical practices in dialogue with the environment, with Evelyne Lopez Mussons, from Rural Vivo; the workshop COMO VER COISAS INVISÍVEIS with Madalena Matoso, from Planeta Tangerina, and the installation URGANHADA, by Angelina Nogueira. URGANHADA is a sensory territory built with objects and plants collected from the community, activated by a participatory performance that reveals intertwined stories and materialities.
With the Territory Cycle, we seek to trace paths in search of an art that is intertwined with the place, encouraging experimentation within the framework of artistic projects that feed on the discourses, experiences and memories, both human and non-human, that they find in the place.
Fio Condutor will continue throughout 2025 with new residencies and presentations, deepening its commitment to artistic creation and the territory.

PROGRAMME
6 june
Casa das Glicínias, 7pm30
Corpo-Roupa, Tales Frey
Corpo-Roupa is an itinerant performance that proposes a collective body in constant negotiation. United by a single indument – a shared garment that challenges the limits of individuality – the participants move through streets, pavements and squares, forming a moving mass that operates in an ungoverned but profoundly interdependent displacement.

1 | TalkArtistic and pedagogical practices in dialogue with the environment
NAP (Núcleo de Ação e Pensamento) is a space for conversation, reflection and the practice of possible regenerative art methodologies. Made up of a group of permanent staff, guests and interested members of the public, it is a fertile space for the joint germination of knowledge, ideas and practices.
In this meeting, we will focus on the relationship between artistic and pedagogical practices in dialogue with the environment.
2 | Workshop How to see invisible things – Sometimes all it takes is a pack of cards
Duration: 1h30 | over 6 anos | Limited capacity subject to prior registration via this form.
Inspired by the pack of cards created by music producer Brian Eno, we’re going to create a collective drawing. We’re going to follow instructions that help us, that are difficult, that mess us up, that inspire us, that surprise us, that challenge us, that intrigue us, that are almost impossible, that we don’t understand, that excite us… We want to see where this goes!
3 | Opening performance-installation Urganhada
Based on the idea of archive/environment, made up of objects and living plants collected, donated or discovered through meetings and conversations with the local community, Urganhada aims to function as a sensory territory of discovery and sharing, activated through a participatory performative action in which the materialities and stories interwoven in the appropriations are unveiled. Urganhada is a project by Angelina Nogueira, developed during a creative residency in São Pedro de Azevedo, Campanhã, Porto.
