“Alcazar” is the result of a multidisciplinary literary project organized by EGEU – an independent art space in Lisbon, Portugal – that ran for 2 years and brought together 6 artists and 7 writers: Adriana João, Beatriz Almeida Rodrigues, Bruno José Silva, Clara Imbert, Diogo Loureiro, Guilherme Vilhena Martins, Hugo Carvalheira Neves, Isabel Cordovil, Luzia Cruz, Mafalda Sofia Gomes, Manuel do Ó, Rodrigo Rosa and Victor Gonçalves.

The project proposed fundamentally to work on the idea of a fictional archive and to challenge literary borders, opening them to various dimensions through the communication between distinct forms of artistic expression such as drawing, photography, 3D modelling or text. The book has 150 pages and the works are organised by quotas according to a principle of collective authorship, without page numbers or direct attribution of a specific author.
