In June 2012, Joëlle Verstraeten traveled to Lisbon to visit Clara Ploux, who was mourning the loss of her son, Eduardo. During her stay, Joëlle found a loose packet of letters, telegrams, and photographs in a flea market. They were moved by the testimony within the letters as the story of two young lovers emerged - Eduardo and Odete. Joelle and Clara began a creative journey as coincidences as dates, places, and names aroused their curiosity, emotion, and imagination.
How would you like to be remembered? is a multidisciplinary art project and international collaboration presenting the exhibition of two sets of 25 monoprints completed with collage, drawing, sewing and written work on paper (22 x 15), video projection, original music, and and art performance/short play.
