Creative Upcycling Workshop 2022

AkaCorleone
Raquel Belli

2022

Following the "Temple of Sound" intervention by visual artist AkaCorleone for the first edition of the MEO Kalorama festival, materialised through a large canvas that covered the entire façade of the main stage of the venue in Parque da Bela Vista, Lisbon, Underdogs took on the curatorship and development of the "Creative Upcycling Workshop".

Headed by Raquel Belli and developed in partnership with the Chelas é o Sítio association and CERCI Lisboa, the workshop gave a new life to this canvas, artistically reusing it for the conception of creative outputs that mirrored the festival's values and identity.

Transmitting the traditional artisanal techniques the artist uses in her work, the workshop guided members of these institutions in the creation of artistic editions, which were then integrated in exclusive Early Bird ticket packs for the next edition of the festival, scheduled for 2023.
