On the 25th April 2019, our beloved freedom bank holiday, I will be in Caldas da Rainha, trying to sell my wares from a recent past. 

'Why in Earth Would you?' catalogue is now for sale! - CLICK ON THE POSTER

It includes a fantastic essay by Demelza Woodbridge, a London based multi-disciplinary artist and activist researching modes of practice as strategies of resistance to narratives of cultural dominance. A praxis of decoloniality combined with a feminist approach inform her practice in the challenging of Western notions of universality, neutrality and linear evolution. Working predominantly with performance and sound, her work seeks to disrupt and interrogate power dynamics and challenge cultural bias.

The catalogue also includes colour images of my work in the show, but also other contextualising pieces.

Handbound, A5, 22 pages, inkjet print on Ultrasmooth 120gsm Navigator paper

The project is taking shape, but very slowly. Rural Portugal has been a force against the rat-race that both myself and Patrick were used to. We still haven't updated the main website, www.cyclicmatter.org, but we decided to launch www.ferreiranormanstudios.net as an intermediate website, to be able to have a documentation and register of our activities, related to Cyclic Matter, since it is looking like the project of getting the project up and running is a project in itself! 

On the 5th July 2019, the Anthropogenic Fossil series will be exhibited for the first time in Portugal. Watch my instagram channel for more details closer to the time! 

After a year with the JAWS team, I was promoted to MA editor, a role which seeks to further the international relationships of the Journal, as well as of quality control of the current associate editors.
