Project: Station to Station Itinerary
seasonal workshops at a slow pace
The 'Station to Station Itinerary' project proposes seasonal workshops that combine creativity
and contact with nature. Away from the digital world, participants are invited to experience leisure,
appreciate the beauty of the art of making and creating art with the reuse of sustainable materials,
while connecting with local villages and communities.
Each station becomes an opportunity to reflect on sustainability,
cultivate well-being and expand creativity in a conscious and sensory way.
Partner train stations on the Alentejo Line:
Spira Lab in Vila Nova da Baronia and Cooperativa Estação de Casa Branca
New stops may join my itinerary project, in locations
with active railway stations interested in hosting creative experiences
linked to the territory, sustainability and encounter.

FAQ's about the Itinerary
Who can participate in the workshops? The workshops are open to participants of different ages and experience levels, unless otherwise specified in each activity.
Is artistic experience necessary? No. The proposals value experimentation, the creative process, and contact with materials and territory.
Are materials included? Yes, unless otherwise indicated. Reusable or locally sourced materials are used whenever possible.
Do the workshops only take place at train stations in Portugal? Currently, the project is developed in partnership with associations, projects, or cooperatives located near the Alentejo Railway Line, but it is available to collaborate with other locations that have active railway stations.
Can I propose a partnership or host a workshop? Yes. The project is available to collaborate with railway stations, cooperatives, cultural spaces, and interested communities.
Why are workshops located near train stations? Train stations are understood as places of encounter, passage, and connection between communities, landscape, and memory.
What does the portuguese word "vagar" mean in the context of the project? The project proposes slowing down, observing, and creating with time, prioritizing manual processes and sensory experiences.
Do the workshops vary depending on the season? Yes. Each season inspires different rhythms, materials, landscapes, and creative approaches.
Is it necessary to travel by train to participate? Not necessarily, but the project encourages slower and more conscious forms of transportation whenever possible.
