Barão de São João Laundry
The Estendal team was in residence in Lagos throughout June to bring cinema and art to the parishes of the municipality. We presented four sessions with a program that addresses what it is to be a child, to be a migrant, and to be a woman—reflecting on the housing crisis, the need for revolution, and the value of compassion. We filmed and created with the people of each neighborhood, mixing music with cinema and transforming the screen into a space for encounter, memory, and celebration.
In this session, the public laundry on Rua da Bica, in Barão de São João, hosted the exhibition "Blue Soap, Red Blood," a concert by Mariana Costa, a short film screening, and a DJ set by DJ Solta a Cueca. The short films focused on themes of menstruation, blood, and what it means to be a woman.
The neighbors talk about washing clothes at the Bica washhouses.
