This research builds on 20 years of combined experience in economics and art, exploring how economic and relational systems shape emotional landscapes. The study investigates the intersection of art and economy through the lens of love, using resonance and affect to understand their relational dynamics. With a focus on nomadic practices exemplified by the Lisbon Drawing Club, the research examines how community-oriented art fosters relational bonds and emotional responses, particularly through drawing sessions. Employing autoethnographic and desire-based approaches, the project integrates mapping, community engagement, and artistic experimentation to deepen insights into art-economy relationships.
