Introducing 𝗢.𝗞. 𝗞.𝗢. – 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 (𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴) 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗖𝗹𝘂𝗯, something I've been working on lately.�O.K. K.O. is a space for gathering, reflection, and critique that, over the course of a year, brings together designers, educators, researchers, and other voices, to read, discuss, and write about design and its social, political, and cultural intersections.

The program unfolds in two parts: six months of collective reading and discussion of selected works, followed by six months dedicated to the collaborative production of critical essays in pairs and groups, culminating in a final publication.

The club is open to women*, both designers and non-designers, who seek time, support, and community to think and write about the social and political dimensions of design, countering the scarcity of diverse voices in design criticism in Portugal. Its first edition is place-based (Lisbon) and applications are currently closed.

I’m deeply grateful to @terezabettinardi and her @clubedolivrodesign, as well as @paimnina, @futuress, and the Troublemakers program – constant sources of inspiration and engines of positive change. A warm thank you to @duarteisabel and @inklabz for helping me think this through.

O.K. K.O. will be popping up here and there—sharing what we’re reading, thinking, and creating—so you can follow along.

*Including cisgender and transgender women, as well as non-binary people who identify with feminine aspects of gender.

Earlier this year, @margarida_fsa and @pedrodmmota, @vaivemvaivem’s editors and publishers, approached me with an invitation to write the next book in their collection. From the reflection on my experience as a student and (design) educator, both in alternative and institutional educational spaces, “The Infinite School” is born. Above all, it’s an ode to knowledge as a space for resistance and community.

The book is published in Portuguese with an English translation, and available through Vai Vem’s web shop (link in bio) at a special launch price (10,80€) until December 10th.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Eva Gonçalves’ “The Infinite School” marks Vai Vem’s fourth pocketbook release. Within its pages, the author explores alternative design education models that align with the contemporary shifts in labor, politics, society, and economics. The book details the “Ellipsis Open School” experience, offering insights into a potential horizontal, free, and community-centric approach.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

“A Escola Infinita” de Eva Gonçalves é o quarto livro de bolso publicado pela Vai Vem. Neste livro, a autora propõe pensar modelos alternativos de ensino em design alinhados com as transformações laborais, políticas, sociais, económicas do mundo actual e descreve a experiência da “Ellipsis Open School”, a partir da qual é possível imaginar um modelo de ensino horizontal, livre e em comunidade.

Disponível a preço de lançamento no site da editora por 10.80€, até dia 10 de Dezembro para compras online ou entrega em mãos no Porto (envios para Portugal e países da UE)

Livro publicado em português, acompanhado por tradução para inglês.

O.K./K.O. Berlin

Five meetings.
One book.
A collaborative zine.

This summer we’re reading Wolfgang Fritz Haug’s Critique of Commodity Aesthetics, a Marxist analysis of how capitalism shapes appearance, desire, and beauty. A dense read, best shared.

A small, informal group for women and non-binary people in design who want to think and write critically, together.

O trabalho com o estúdio re-re/re: ( @re.re.re.studio ), de Eva Gonçalves ( @yayeva ) e Rita Mota ( @mita_rota ), tem sido verdadeiramente e desde o início, o da construção colectiva e partilhada de um mundo, o do Festival TEMPORAL. No inverno passado, quando o nosso país enfrentava, de forma crítica, temporais tão iminentes como devastadores, o estúdio pegou nas nossas muitas referências, de lugares tão díspares, e trouxe-lhes uma ordem que parecia faltar no mundo lá fora e, muitas vezes, também, dentro das nossas cabeças e das nossas ideias. Nas palavras de Eva e de Rita: “A proposta para a identidade do Temporal assenta na ideia de fenómeno: reconhecível mas em variação contínua, sem forma ou imagem fixas.

O elemento central são fundos orgânicos que simulam um céu instável – gradações, manchas e transições de cor que não representam um momento, mas uma condição em mutação (duração, passagem, transformação).

As paletas partem do fenómeno atmosférico e combinam cores em proporções variáveis, sugerindo dois momentos atmosféricos distintos. Gradientes, ilustrações e aguarelas combinam-se criando interferências e perturbações, emulando instabilidade numa superfície de outro modo estável.” Nós não podíamos estar mais contentes com a identidade do Festival Temporal, por podermos trabalhar com a Eva e com a Rita e por vermos a forma atenta e cuidadosa com que as duas trabalham com outros parceiros “gráficos” do TEMPORAL, como os mágicos Mago Print Studio ( @magoprintstudio ) que imprimiram em risografia os deliciosos postais da Open Call do Temporal e que, se tiverem sorte, talvez ainda encontrem espalhados por vários lugares do Porto. Obrigada e bem hajam!

Podem ficar a conhecer melhor o trabalho do estúdio aqui (@re.re.re.studio).

The Match Factory ‘20 Years’ celebration gift box. One of the projects we worked on last year – a look back and a celebration of @thematchfactory’s 20 years of collaborations and great cinema.

Art direction & graphic design with @mita_rota; Printed by @graficamaiadouro. More photos soon.

Na terça-feira 25 de novembro recebemos às 18h na @fbaul a curadora Beatrice Leanza para uma conversa sobre o seu novo livro, The New Design Museum.

Convidámos o crítico de design Silvio Lorusso e a designer, professora e instigadora institucional Eva Gonçalves para participar nesta conversa promovida pela licenciatura e mestrado em Design de Comunicação junto com o mestrado em crítica e curadoria.
Estarei a moderar a conversa com o professor e curador Delfim Sardo.

O livro The New Design Museum: Co-creating the Present, Prototyping the Future reúne teorias e vozes tanto de instituições internacionais de renome como de iniciativas independentes que têm vindo a abordar a natureza transformada – e em constante transformação – do design no século XXI, bem como a dimensão prática e discursiva do seu alcance planetário. Ao mapear um novo panorama de práticas institucionais em diferentes localizações geográficas, este volume revela como os espaços culturais dedicados ao design precisam de uma transformação – das suas missões, programas e plataformas de divulgação – para responder a uma visão cada vez mais ampla do design como um campo que está a mover-se muito além da sua apresentação tradicional como uma prática baseada em objetos.

O livro, lançado em 2025, está disponível no site da @park_books e na livraria @stet_books em Lisboa.

Poster design for a Poem Manifesto, visualizing the outcomes of Rob Blake’s (@robblaketv) Manifesto Writing Workshop at Ellipsis Open School, 2019.�The workshop was a collective writing exercise that resulted in twenty-nine axioms, reflections, and collages—each expressing the dreams and desires of the group.

These axioms, as disparate as they are absurd, serve as a record not only of collective aspirations but also of shared anxieties and fears. Grammatical, spelling, and semantic errors were intentionally preserved; after all, English—the language that connects us—is not native to all participants. The manifesto, almost poetic in nature, stands as a written testimony to our longing for connection, belonging, and presence, while also affirming the values that unite us: political, environmental, economic, and social.

Promotional poster for “Visão Noturna”, a collaborative effort between Angolan multidisciplinary artist Nástio Mosquito @nastiomosquito and Brazilian musician and composer Felipe Antunes @antunesfe. Visão Noturna (Night Vision) explores a return to nature as a way to distance ourselves from the destructive forces of modern progress, positioning art as a form of resistance.
