Binaural/Nodar presents four audio/visual essays with anthropological meaning, on the one hand, connected with Nodar Rural Art Lab sound and media arts residencies organized by the association in the Gralheira mountain range since 2006 and, secondly, connected with the Memory Archive of Lafões, the Valleys of Paiva and Vouga, a project funded by the Culture Programme of the European Commission and part of Tramontana network of memory archives from mountainous areas of southern Europe.
The four essays, all produced by Binaural /Nodar, reflect a variety of aspects of everyday life and memory of the mountain villages on the other side of the river Vouga: marriage lived in the perspective of the young women who leave home for good (“The Bride “from collections in the village of Sequeiros), the agricultural cycle of a village from spring to autumn (collections made in Bondança, civil parish of Manhouce), the relationship of a community with its animals (” Natural “from collections made in the village of Nodar) and finally, the relationship of mountain communities with food and gastronomy (“Chef Ro in Gralheira” from collections in the villages of Candal, Coelheira, Manhouce and Gamoal).
