BIO
Mariana Dias Coutinho work weaves sculpture, site-specific installation, and collaborative practices into a reflection on how we inhabit and relate to the world. Guided by attention to material—its memory, wisdom, and potential for connection—she engages with local resources and traditional crafts as acts of care and belonging. Rooted in the landscapes and communities of Odemira, she takes part in ecological and collective initiatives such as SOS RIO MIRA, ALDEIAS À VISTA, and GUARDIÕES DO MIRA. Her practice moves between the poetic and the political, seeking to listen, repair, and imagine new ways of being with the more-than-human world.
The OaSis consortium and host institutions
The project is created by the unique consortium of almost 20 diverse institutions – including NGOs, culture institutions, municipalities and a university. Open Art Spaces (OASis) in Action combines 13 interdisciplinary art venues in 10 countries (Armenia, Belgium, France, Georgia, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia and Slovenia) that reflect the modern model of the open art center which merges local context with international art exchange.
