Museums, books and gardens: Carolina Pimenta, the city's creative offspring, introduces us to what she loves about Lisbon. Pimenta - raised in Porto as the daughter of an art collector and a writer - invites us to her just moved into the studio at the Praça Luís de Camões in the former offices of a book publisher. Working on her thesis, she prepares for a documentary journey with Anastasia Fugger in Poland, which follows the joint travel project "Gone Mexico." After a longer stay in New York, Lisbon is for Pimenta, besides her homeland, also a welcome, uninhibited cosmos encourages creative energy in its own way and in whose small circle great names are found, such as Philippe Starck, and interest in that cosmos is growing.
The studio Carolina Pimenta is located in the center of Lisbon at the Praça Luís de Camões. On the way to her, gliding along the hilly city streets with the new Porsche 718 Boxster S , we hear music from "Sensible Soccers" and "Moullinex" as well as the recommended playlist of the up-and-coming artist.
