The proposal for the walk is based on the experience of travelling on foot through the area of the Monastery of Santa Clara-a-Nova. The walks serve as a call to get to know the natural and architectural space in a paused way and serve to create small and ephemeral interventions in the landscape, collections and records. The observation drawing is the primary link between the eye and the place, between the participants who become accomplices in transit. As bodies explore a new territory, a new possible geography is inaugurated, born in the drawing of affections and sharing.

Marcelo Moscheta is a visual artist who emphasizes the practical but also has a profound conceptual reference. His research focuses on man's primordial relationships with the environment, as well as the human interventions that arise from the acts of wandering and walking. Heterochronies, displacement, territory, landscape and memory are his main interests. Problems of scale and fictitious scientific approaches are used to superimpose cultural aspects onto natural resources, for unique human interventions in isolated areas. Since the beginning of his artistic career in 2000, the artist has been creating works and exhibitions resulting from trips to remote locations.
