During the last stage of her residency Inês will also be designing a menu in collaboration with the team at Canteen to accompany the fermentation products for a communal meal amongst all participants. "I’m delighted that despite all the ongoing challenges over the pandemic that we’ve been able to deliver this project, and to have worked directly with participantsin Limerick.” WATCH: Short film featuring Limerick wood-artist wins top award Director of EVA International, Matt Packer says: “EVA’s involvement in the The Magic Carpets platform over the past 4 years has connected us with 14 other cultural organisations across Europe, each that work to engage contemporary art within their local community contexts. "Together with organisational partners, we have been able to initiate international artist residencies for Irish artists Siobhán Ní Dhuinnín and Mary Conroy, while also hosting international artists here in Limerick; such as Vera Mota, Bora Baboci, Anca Benera & Arnold Estefan, and Inês Neto dos Santos.”
