Drawing Porto today "would be to start drawing my home, my world, my personal geography, of affections and memories", she reveals. In fact, the Invicta (Undefeated) has already been Aragão's subject. She has synthesized it several times, but she feels that she still hasn't managed to materialise that subjective and psychogeographical map that she keeps in that certain place where imagination lives.

Ana Aragão's future Porto will be the only drawn city of hers that won't drift away because it will always be a place of memory, aa well as space where she lives and works. Places anchored to the ground on which she walks between Campo Alegre, Baixa, Jardim das Virtudes, Palácio de Cristal, Sé and Ribeira. And how will this Porto be expressed, will it have straight or curved lines? Ana Aragão evokes Italo Calvino and likes to think of drawing her city with curved lines, because the "curve allows us to escape death". The straight line has a finitude to it, but her hometown is made up of movement, of unfinished discovery on the winding path as we walk along the streets, alleys and sidewalks. "It is by getting lost in these byways that we meet and get to know this Porto" that is so identitarian, personal and idiosyncratic, made up of so many layers and complexities. Ana Aragão's Porto will be "the work of a lifetime", still in progress.
