Alexandre Delmar and Maria Ruivo are A Recoletora, an artistic practice dedicated to the study of places and the synergies between human and plant communities.

Its presence in the Parretas urbanization will translate into a construction open to all, in dialogue with the dynamics of the neighborhood, activating orality and the passing on of knowledge.
