About me
Carolina Sampaio da Costa graduated from Fine-Arts University of Lisbon with a BA in Industrial Design, learning to transform complex ideas into simple and intuitive objects. Carolina is evolving into exhibition design because she can use design as a tool to help the individual be aware of certain values of society which otherwise would probably go unnoticed. As an exhibition designer she has worked for the "Luis Serpa Art Galery" in Lisbon. She also participated in many competitions for Industrial Design and she has done projects for several institutions in Portugal like AMI (Portugese ONG) and Loja Social (Social Department of Lisbon). She is currently a part of the MA Narrative Environments at Central Saints Martins, in order to design spaces for society driven by values and creative thinking. In the future she sees herself working in this type of area because she believe the kind of design this course offers creates the link between culture and society.
Projects
  • Memory Portrait Exhibition
    Memory Portrait Exhibition Memory Portrait, an exhibition and sensory experience, takes place in Gallery 1 in Wellcome Collection. It seeks to revive intangible memories through the senses. The exhibition contains an installation for each of the 5 senses, enabling the visitors to recall their memories through sensual engagement and association. Each installation provides experiences of a particular sense by offering 5 possible variations of it. After engaging with this wide range of senses, each individual will be able to materialise the memory through physical samples of corresponding sensory cues, creating, in this way, a unique "memory portrait". The target audience is adults from 25 to 50, who tend to balance memories better and give more importance to the positive memories. This exhibition is important because, in allowing people to recall and materialise their memories and by emphasising the importance of the senses, it enhances their sense of attention and wellbeing.
