Espigar nas gentes

I had the privilege of being part of Espigar nas Gentes, a large-scale project in the city of Oporto that aimed to build meaningful connections between local people, small businesses, and illustrators.

Through conversations with residents, I listened to their stories, concerns, and daily lives, transforming their experiences into illustrations that gave them visibility within the city and community. Each drawing became a window into their world—a way to celebrate their presence and contributions while fostering a sense of belonging.

Espigar nas Gentes was more than just an artistic project; it was a collective experience of storytelling and connection. It remains one of the most beautiful projects I’ve been a part of, and one I will always carry with me.
