I'M STILL HERE - "Self recognition notebook" with Graça Santos

I'M STILL HERE is a collage workshop led by Graça Santos, developed following the artist’s residency at the Lisbon Psychiatric Hospital Centre between April and June 2025, as part of the Mais uno + 1 collective’s project (In)visible Territories.

During the workshop, participants will begin a “Self-Recognition Notebook” — a visual diary developed through a series of instructions and creative constraints introduced throughout the workshop.

The Self-Recognition Notebook is conceived as a tool for navigating and processing the world around us, particularly in these uncertain times. Through the intuitive and reflective process of collage, participants will explore ways of creatively responding to their surroundings, while also creating a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves amid everything that is happening around them.
