Description of Experience
O rio como memória partilhada
Ao longo do rio Minho, a fronteira revela-se mais encontro do que limite, feita de circulação, trabalho e memórias partilhadas entre margens.
Entre pesqueiras ancestrais e histórias de contrabando, emigração e sobrevivência, descobrimos um território onde o rio moldou a paisagem e a vida das comunidades ao longo do tempo.
Descobrir. Compreender. Habitar.
As paisagens não são apenas resultado da natureza. São também expressão da forma como as comunidades viveram, trabalharam e transformaram o território ao longo do tempo.
- As experiências que propomos são apenas algumas possibilidades.
- Se procura outra forma de descobrir o território, partilhe connosco os seus interesses e encontraremos consigo uma proposta à medida do seu ritmo: geral@wewantgreen.pt
→ Em breve, o Intérprete WWG permitirá descobrir o território de forma ainda mais personalizada.
