Langues de Sable (2026 - ongoing)
Langues de Sable is a research and creation project rooted in the family history of the artist Yure Romão, shaped by movements and connections between the Caribbean, South America and Europe. Inspired by the natural phenomenon of sandspits — fragile formations that connect an island to the mainland — the project explores the movement of people, knowledge and practices between different territories.
Langues de Sable unfolds as a first step in the research process: encountering the landscapes and practices that shape sensitive ways of inhabiting a territory.
