THE ART OF THE CARAMULO ENCOUNTER
Artist Residency
From April 10th to 13th, 2025
Vouzela (Viseu Dão Lafões Region, Portugal)
A co-production between the Department of Communication and Art of the Universidade de Aveiro and Binaural Nodar, with logistical support from the Município de Vouzela.
In 2025, the Master’s Degree in Contemporary Artistic Creation at the University of Aveiro and Binaural Nodar will be celebrating fourteen years of their ongoing partnership, in which multiple joint activities have been developed over the years, including an annual artist residency, co-organized in the rural territory of Viseu Dão Lafões since 2011 and which, in 2022, led to the retrospective exhibition “Between times and places”, which took place in the building of the Department of Communication and Art at the University of Aveiro.
The concept of this long-standing partnership has been linked to the idea of complementarity, both territorially – the River Vouga as a symbol of the connection between river, mountain and maritime communities – and artistically – soundscapes and sound art as interesting areas for inclusion in contemporary artistic creation projects from a multidisciplinary perspective.
Between April 10th and 13th, 2025, the town of Vouzela will host another artist residency associated with the partnership between the Department of Communication and Art at the University of Aveiro and Binaural Nodar, which will be attended by around twenty students and teachers, and which is part of the activities of the Tramontana Network, a project co-funded by the Creative Europe program and which relates to artistic and archival practices in rural mountain contexts in Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Romania, Albania and Poland.
