PSIAX #8 — Launch

Date: January 21, 2026
Time: 5:00 PM
Venue: Cactus Greenhouse, Botanical Garden

This edition proposes a critical reflection on the relationships between drawing, ecology, and spatial practices, exploring modes of perception, inscription, and visual thinking in dialogue with natural and environmental contexts.

The presentation of PSIAX #8 will be given by Joana Tinoco, landscape architect and researcher (FCUP), whose contribution engages with the conceptual and visual axes that run through this edition.

We would also like to inform you that the journal is now available online:
