Isidoro Ramos
Esparto is not cut. It is pulled.
Isidoro Ramos returned to the fields where he grew up. And revived the tradition that his grandmother's and mother's hands taught him. So that Algarve esparto does not disappear from the hills where it still grows.
Salinas do Samouco
Na Marinha do Canto, o saber não tem validade. Tal como o sal.

Salina Greens
Onde o sal não é sal.
Na Salinas Green, a paisagem não é cenário. É sistema vivo.

Jacky Cavallari
The master who paints with wood.

Enfia o Barrete
Enfia o Barrete, just as tradition demands.
The Enfia o Barrete collective has no intention of fooling anyone. It is dedicated to preserving Madeira's ear cap and to valuing the sheep's wool and natural fibres of the island, so that this beautiful tradition does not fall asleep.
