About

In the RTP1 programme Outras Histórias, Susana Cereja is presented through her transition from architecture to visual art and her reinvention of the Arraiolos stitch within a contemporary practice.

Filmed around her studio in the municipality of Mafra, the report also shows the family team with whom she works and the way an ancestral Portuguese textile technique has become central to her artistic language.
