Memory Collectors
M.4 . 00h30
O fascinante universo dos colecionadores de memórias é um reino repleto de tesouros e histórias que os olhos captam avidamente. Em cada botão, cada espelho, cada sapato ou boneca, há um fragmento de tempo que, com a dedicação e paixão do colecionador, se torna um testemunho vivo do passado. Estes guardiões da memória vagueiam pelas ruas, espreitando cada recanto, em busca de relíquias que contam as histórias daqueles que querem ser lembrados.
Eles veem em cada esquina um encontro, em cada ruína um mapa, em cada beco e rua a vida de geração após geração a transformar-se, a evoluir, mas mantendo dentro de si a essência de cada gesto que a moldou.
A community project created for Ei! Marionetas 2025. This project was developed within youth communities and with associations that work closely with socially vulnerable young people. The project, led by artist Clara Ribeiro, is the result of workshops focused on artistic creation and theatrical play.
The fascinating universe of memory collectors is a realm full of treasures and stories that the eyes eagerly grasp. In every button, every mirror, every shoe or doll, there is a fragment of time that, with the collector's dedication and passion, becomes a living testimony to the past. These guardians of memory wander the streets, peering into every corner, in search of relics that tell the stories of those who want to be remembered.
They see in every corner an encounter, in every ruin a map, in every alley and street the life of generation after generation transforming, evolving, but keeping within itself the essence of every gesture that shaped it.

community project
The impact of artistic work on the community allows us to consider it an excellent tool for empowering vulnerable individuals. Several projects implemented by different artistic organizations lead us to conclude that there are integrative behavioral improvements in the community.Government support for the development of various programs in this area is an important facilitating factor for various associations and institutions that actively address this issue, creating social development projects through art.
“The concept of Education through Art has been the subject of reflection by some educators, philosophers, and even historians, fitting into the emergence of ‘new values and concepts’ in contexts of social, economic, and ideological transformation. Thus, several writings have emerged, nationally and internationally, as a product of concern and reflection.” (Meira, 2015).
In line with this thinking, the work presented demonstrates the importance of artistic practice in communities that welcome individuals with different vulnerabilities, from different age groups.
Although Morin has a very clear view of our thought process and its “hidden principles,” his view of things and the world is distorted by beliefs and, above all, by the goal of lifting the veil on a widespread belief that individuals in situations of vulnerability only enjoy artistic contact as social positivism, without this being properly analyzed. The creator of art and their creative potential are fundamental in these socially segregated communities. (Morin, 2005)
