GALLERY

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Artefact Gallery, a new initiative within the CULTURALITY project! Every two weeks, one of our partners will spotlight a unique craft piece from their country, celebrating the rich cultural heritage and artistry that define each region.

#1 - Portugal

For our first feature, the University of Aveiro, in collaboration with designer Maria Neo, has selected a remarkable piece that showcases the beauty and innovation of Portuguese craftsmanship. Dive into the full article to discover the story behind this artefact and its creators. Join us on this journey to explore the diverse creative expressions of our project’s community!

WELCOME

The CULTURALITY project aims to promote cultural and creative tourism activities to aid the sustainable development of rural areas, encouraging job creation and population settlement. By researching the cultural heritage, including artisan material culture (techniques, materials, patterns, and decorative elements) and intangible culture (music, oral knowledge, and culinary traditions), the project will foster non-seasonal tourism. It will cater to local communities’ needs, focusing on at-risk groups like women, the elderly, and youth, involving international multidisciplinary teams specializing in digital heritage, research, communication and dissemination. The emphasis will be on constant collaboration and sharing of experiences to enhance collective knowledge and ensure optimal results.
