Portuguese artist Joana Vasconcelos impressed all visitors of the Venice Biennale of 2013 with ‘Trafaria Praia’, a decommissioned passenger ferry boat that used to ply the waters of the Tagus, transformed by Vasconcelos and her team of painters, seamstresses, carpenters, metalworkers and electricians into an inside-and-out work of art. Vasconcelos works a lot with Portuguese crafts – it’s all about knitting, embroidering and crocheter really! An impression of our visit to her studio in Lisbon.
