Cooking workshop—in preparation for Maja Escher’s performance *Mastro Sol*
In this workshop, each participant shapes and decorates a cookie figure for Mastro Sol, an installation inspired by Alentejo festival rituals, where figures are hung from festive masts. Each piece carries the gesture and story of its maker, joining others in a collective artwork made by many hands. When Mastro Sol is exhibited on June 27 at 11:00 am, you can return to find your figure and see how it became part of the final piece.<br>

Mastro Sol
Mastro Sol is a participatory work that brings together installation, kitchen-workshop and public celebration through the collective creation of edible biscuit-dough flags, produced in workshops open to the community, installed around a mast and shared in the final moment as a gesture of encounter and celebration.
Artist Maja Escher invites you to be part of a collective creation. In this workshop, each participant shapes and decorates a cookie‑figure that will be incorporated into Mastro Sol, an installation inspired by the traditional Alentejo ritual of hanging figures on the masts of popular festivals. The idea is simple and powerful: the hands of those who take part become part of the artwork. Each figure carries a story, a gesture, a mark left by its maker. Together, they form a whole that no single hand could create alone. And there is also a reason to return: when Mastro Sol is exhibited, you can come back, find your figure among all the others, and see how your gesture became part of this creation. Come and create. And then return to find yourself in the piece.<br>
The cookies produced during these workshops will be integrated into Mastro Sol performance, which will take place on June 27th at 11:00 am.
