COLOURS
Everyone has different colour sensitivities, different experiences, and colour perception is largely culturally determined, meaning that cultural differences can influence how people perceive and assign meaning to colours. Depending on the
availability of natural colour materials in a culture, certain colours may be more common or valued. In addition to affecting the soul and mind, colour also has an effect on the emotions and body. Impressions of colour can be affective, i.e. short-lived, emotional, dependent on the person, varying with mood, the individual taste of the viewer, building momentary tension. The symbolism of colours has been perpetuated and changed according to centuries, culture and religion.
PEOPLE
In our project, we will refer to the primordial love of colours and their non-obvious
combinations, very often specific to place and time, as well as to culture. We will
draw attention to the origins of colour and the relationship to its name –
gamboge, saffron, firebrick, flea colour, amaranth, cochineal, hematite, alizarin,
heliotrope, orpiment, absinthe, celadon, russet, taupe, kajal, jet and orpiment.
We will look for the meanings of colours in Polish, Portuguese and Dutch
traditions. The 6 faces are 3 perspectives on chromophilia in the context of
different and distant cultural traditions.
SITES
Six artists from Poland, Portugal and the Netherlands will create objects sensitive
to cultural meaning and differences, localness and human individuality.

flow in disorder the yellow color.
Every yellow has his own compromise with every culture, city or landfill.
Even with the person that abuses his own identity.
In Winter a dirty white has hidden a pastel yellow.
While the pallor of dust fight, has a yellow in its deep sadness.
And in fall we can swallow any yellow in the greyish air.
In Spring Strobe yellow cross, a Vertical light trees glow
or a smoked yellow, as a fellow in his shallow movement.
In the final summer, the moon as a stagnant ihello temperature
And the linen fields in the morning give us (me and Jacinta) the purest yellowish stunning connection.
