Starting from the historical documentation explored by researcher Ana Isabel Lopes, the session proposed a dynamic approach to the archive. Participants were able to analyse the archive materials and understand how local communities responded to the advancing sands and adapted to coastal transformations between the 16th and 19th centuries. In dialogue with these materials, attendees also had the opportunity to attend a performative presentation by artist-researcher Seila Fernández Arconada, followed by viewing the exhibition “O Fio Da Água: Embracing Waters Flow for Resilient Futures” through a guided tour led by the artist herself. This multidisciplinary installation, on display at the Archive throughout the month, extended the reflection by focusing on the relationships between humans and water, on floods, and on imaginative ways of (co)existing with water. Throughout the session, participants were invited to interact directly with the themes and materials presented, fostering conversation and collective reflection in a shared space that bridged past and present, while simultaneously encouraging dialogue around today's challenges. Part of the Águas Vivas Festival organized by the Rio Neiva Association. This event is a collaboration with the Municipal Archive of Esposende.
