Cecilia Corujo

"Story of an Artist Growing Old" all original drawings by Cecília Corujo. Original song by Daniel Johnston, here performed by Cecília Corujo. Here's a video I did showing my studio room and some of the drawing work i've done for the last 5 years. This short clip  was made during Covid lockdown, in the month of Fabruary of 2021 and it is part of an online event "5 minutes of Dawing "  organized by the Drawing Research Group of CIEBA / FBAUL - Faculty of Fine Arts of The University of Lisbon. Event link: http://5md.belasartes.ulisboa.pt/​ "Story of an Artist Growing Old" is a video essay that expresses my PhD investigation which deals with  the strange power of Art and its influence on identity and personal development. It's a personal search for the transcripition of the notion of recognition between reader and work of art and an exploration of the concept of Fandom  as a space for individual creation and empowerment. for more about the video (in portuguese): http://5md.belasartes.ulisboa.pt/2021...
