Da Silva Romão Caroline – Ce qui nos fica

by Da Silva Romão Caroline

The book Ce qui nos fica brings together Frentuguese, a hybrid French-Portuguese language that emerged within Portuguese immigrant families in French-speaking Switzerland. Through words that were never written down but passed on orally, it captures a memory that is both collective and personal: that of a linguistic, cultural, and familial in-between. The book offers a snapshot of this language, frozen in time as it exists in 2026. What we are left with are not only these words and expressions, but also the memories of the annual journeys between Switzerland and Portugal: the long trips by car or autobus, which are, like us, suspended between two countries. Este livro reúne o frantuguês, uma língua híbrida franco-portuguesa nascida nas famílias da imigração portuguesa na Suíça (França). Através de palavras nunca escritas, mas transmitidas oralmente, ele capta uma memória ao mesmo tempo coletiva e pessoal: a de um entre-dois linguístico, cultural e familiar. A obra propõe assim uma fotografia desta linguagem, fixada no tempo, no seu estado de 2026. O que nos fica são essas palavras, mas também as memórias das viagens anuais entre a Suíça e Portugal: as longas viagens de carro ou de autocarro, que são também elas, como nós, um entre-dois países.

Genius Loci - Spirit of the place – 2025

Genius Loci - Spirit of the place – 2025

with Nicole Udry

Genius Loci, or the spirit of the place, refers to the unique identity or essence of a location. In architecture, this principle suggests that the specific characteristics of a place should be reflected and extended in a design. In the case of the second-year graphic design students, they have applied this principle to communication projects focused on promoting or extending the identity of a particular place through design. Their work likely explores how to visually capture and communicate the essence of a space, using graphic design elements that resonate with the architectural features or history of the place.
