Gebalis, through its Bank of Donated Goods, partnered with the 5th edition of TRAÇA – Family Archive Film Festival, lending furniture to create six outdoor living rooms in Campolide, Lisbon.

The event, promoted by the Lisbon Municipal Archive / Videotheque, focused on the memory of places, urban transformations, and community stories, under the theme “Lost Landscapes”. The furniture, from former municipal housing, was given a new life, serving as meeting and discovery points for visitors.
Each living room hosted archival film screenings, allowing participants to travel through time via images from different eras. These projections were complemented by talks with special guests, turning the spaces into meeting points between individual and collective memory.
Gebalis' participation highlights the value of resource reuse, supporting cultural development and fostering community interaction and bonds.
