Inviting a contemplative look at botanical species and sharing curiosities about each of them, Ivo Meco leads us through the green spaces and gardens around the CCB. A teacher of Botany, Biology, and Geology, and the author of Jardins de Lisboa: Histórias de espaços, plantas e pessoas, he guides a walk-and-talk that opens up new ways of looking at gardens.

Friday and saturday, March 27 and 28, at 6:00 pm
Performance by João dos Santos Martins
The body can serve as a site of negotiation between nature and construction. Starting from this premise, João dos Santos Martins approaches dance as a practice of unlearning and reinvention. Drawing on his personal experience of moving from a rural to an urban environment, and on the idea of adaptation (of both body and self), he finds a point of connection with Roberto Burle Marx. Just as the landscape architect understood the garden as an “adjustment of the ecological environment to the demands of civilisation,” migration also entails a continuous adjustment of gestures.
Free admission with prior registration. Subject to capacity.
