PENSÃO: Artist Residencies (DE L LI)
DELLI is pleased to present the new artist residencies programme PENSÃO. This programme is open to our students, teachers and external guests. We want to invite our students who show a special talent and total dedication to their learning, and offer them space to work on self-initiated projects about their interests and forms of communication, with the help of mentors or collaborators who can help them in their working processes. Teachers and guests can also take part in the residencies, in individual or collaborative projects. The work developed may be presented in any format proposed by the author, such as an exhibition, performance, action or digital format, and shared in our website specially dedicated to the residencies.
DELLI & the NEW MA DESIGN announces 4 Design research scholarships: two for continuing students transitioning from the BA, and two for new students, both national and international.
New Master in Design!
The MA Design explores and expands new publishing practices, deepening the relationsbetween design and fields such as ecology, culture and food, around the idea of Publishing Futures. With this MA, you will be able to develop strategies to make pressing issues public, conceiving interactive and collaborative models through printed and digital media, as well as performance.

Cooking Method for the Cycle of Water, 2024
Setting the table is an act of provocation. We incite the other, the body, the thought and the senses, words or silence. Like a performance, it opens up space for dialogue. Like a ritual, it brings us together or pushes us apart. This project is part of the Project course’s activities with the second year students of the Communication Design degree, supervised by Professor Marta Guerra Belo. Project website: CWFCOW
