Por Onde Flor in Lisbon

Por Onde Flor is an urban art project carried out in Lisbon, which ran along Rua das Flores, from number 58 Rua São Paulo to number 5 Praça de Camões. A series of 30 flowers invited passers-by to take part in the simple yet powerful gesture of taking a flower and sharing a memory, whether of those who live in the city or of those who simply pass through.

The flowers, crafted by the studio A Rosa e o Cravo, were created from leftover materials from the Paragens Ilustradas project, carrying with them stories and histories from the past. Made from scraps of fabric, they incorporate traditional craftsmanship and collective memory, transforming the urban space into a place for meeting, exchange and sharing.

The project took place in July 2017, establishing itself as a thoughtful initiative that celebrates the connection between people, place and stories.
