The New Art Exchange and the Monitoring Group in Nottingham, via A-n magazine, asked artists to submit their ideas for a rural digital photography project involving the Portuguese community in and around Boston.
Having been selected, my idea centres around the Portuguese word “saudade” – which has connotations with nostalgia – and uses objects as prompts for reminiscence through a series of workshops with the local community.
Based on the outcomes from the workshops, the artist and participants will exhibit photographs and objects representational of the word “saudade” together with definitions of the word and a ‘precious memory book’.
The project exhibited at The Gallery of Justice in Nottingham in October 2007.
