We’re happy to announce the winner of the 2022 OUT.RA Creation Grant, after carefully analyzing the applications we received during the start of this year.
This year’s winner is Rita Santos, composer and sound artist born in Barreiro who is currently studying towards a Master’s degree in Musical Science at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, where she develops investigative work in the fields of sound consciousness, acoustic ecology and soundscape composition, with a project entitled “A Segunda Natureza” (“The Second Nature, in Portuguese), a sound art piece which will strive to “create an immersive sound space which emulates the second nature of an aquatic body”.
This work, which will be developed over the coming months, will be presented as an installation towards the end of the year. Stay tuned for more news!
