context
for the add-wood festival, artists from diverse fields are invited to unveil projects that would otherwise remain hidden. the organization’s invitation is straightforward: “merge your mediocrity with ours and reveal to the world the worst within you.” this underground-optimistic festival aims to celebrate the brighter side of the darkest creations. its name is a playful nod to american filmmaker ed wood, renowned for his films’ campy aesthetics, technical blunders, and rudimentary special effects. it is held at purex clube – a hub for the lgbt community in lisbon’s bairro alto neighborhood.
