What creatures inhabit the imagination of each person? How many times do we dream up impossible beasts? What to do so that these wonderful and beautiful creatures can become real?
While recycling everyday objects, Joana Mendonça proposes their transformation into new objects, or rather into animals with a magical life of their own. Everything can serve as inspiration for the creation of this crazy and improbable fauna. Telling stories (with animals), watching short animations, watching wild animals in the African savannah... are just some of proposals of this workshop, based on a strong visual arts component, giving the participants a rich and fun experience by allowing them to experiment hands on.
Being a licentiate in Visual Arts by the Faculdade de Belas Artes do Porto, Joana Mendonça is now working on her doctorate in Art Education at that very same institution. She's a teacher at Escola Superior de Educação de Viseu and she cooperates, regularlly, with the Serviço Educativo da Fundação de Serralves, in Oporto.
