The work of Isabel Medeiros (Ponta Delgada, 1998) has revolved around memory, accompanying its various processes of preservation, transformation, or deterioration. Through various media, she explores how images, sounds, voices, rocks, and other objects may—or may not—survive the passage of time. Between personal and collective narratives—sometimes intersected by the material and imagined topographies of her native territory—her work develops between the ephemeral and the permanent. Isabel Medeiros has a master’s degree in Aesthetics and Artistic Studies with a specialization in Cinema and Photography from NOVA FCSH, Lisbon (2023), a postgraduate degree in sound art (2025), and a bachelor’s degree in Multimedia Art in Installation and Performance from FBAUL, Lisbon (2019). She also studied at the Art Academy of Szczecin, Poland (2018/19).

In recent years, Pablo Quiroga Devia, a Colombian artist born in Paris (1990), has devoted himself to understanding the characteristics of certain territories in Europe and South America, particularly through the flows, movements, and introductions of living beings from certain regions of Portugal and Colombia. In his work, he considers how the transformation of the landscape is traversed by the construction of worldviews that overlap, mix, impose themselves, or transmit themselves through certain actions between species—not always controlled by humans. Thus, he focuses on analyzing particular cases of the circulation and adaptation processes of certain organisms, developing practices that present complex cases of coexistence based on methods of assembly and metamorphosis. Among proposals for installations, sculptures, drawings, or other formats determined by the contexts of each project or territory, its starting point is often waste found in its surroundings—feathers, leaves, seeds, fruits—as well as experimentation with different plastic relationships between them.
