These objects will be reorganized into fishing nets to be exhibited — bringing the sea into the heart of the city and reminding us that ocean preservation is a shared responsibility. Pollution knows no borders, and neither should our commitment to change. As part of an environmental education program developed with the city of Espinho and Lipor

Transforming marine waste into art alongside the members of CERCI Espinho revealed how creativity can open spaces of inclusion, dignity, and shared purpose.

By reusing materials collected from the sea, participants helped strengthen community bonds and build a bridge between ocean preservation and social impact. Together, we cleaned the beaches, reimagined discarded m

Through the workshop O Mar não tem Limites ( The Sea Has No Limits) — a space dedicated to sharing, creativity, and environmental awareness under the Blue Flag programme — participants explored the poetic potential of discarded materials. Witnessing the commitment of participants to turn “trash” into singular artworks, reaffirmed a core belief of Kideo Kidō: a

The artist role in these brigades focuses on guiding the selection of collected waste — from fishing nets to plastics — ensuring its future reuse as raw material. It is along this coastline that the creative process begins for the installations that
