Gestos

"Gestos" is a tribute to the hands that have shaped the soul of Ferreira do Zêzere — an ode to the gestures and generations of the past, to the passing down of traditional knowledge, while never forgetting the men and women who valued and elevated the town.

The visual proposal is a fusion of tradition, memory, and identity, where various visual elements intertwine to tell the story of the community. It seeks to celebrate Ferreira do Zezere and its people, its historical fabric, and the rich heritage of traditions and knowledge that make this village unique.

In the close-up, an elderly woman appears preparing a fish, dressed in traditional Portuguese attire—this ancestral gesture symbolizes the hard work of past generations and the importance of passing on folk wisdom. It represents the village's deep connection to its rural roots and the essential role of women in preserving culture and domestic economy, conveying the idea of perpetuating and keeping this legacy alive.

Highlighting the natural, architectural, and historical value of the region, the mural features landscapes of the village and monuments of great value, as well as symbols linked to the Knights Templar and some local figures. This mural is a visual manifesto of the history, traditions, and soul of Ferreira do Zêzere - it evokes the collective memory of the village where the Templar past, folk wisdom, and natural beauty intertwine in a single narrative, thus celebrating the cultural and historical identity of the region
