Catarina Cortes Conservação - atelier CCC

atelier CCC – Conservation and Cultural Heritage atelier CCC is a space dedicated to the conservation, study, and valorisatio of Cultural Heritage, founded by Catarina Cortes Pereira, conservator-restorer. We work with public and private institutions, collectors, and technical teams in the preservation of collections on paper, photography, painting, sculpture, gilded woodcarving, among others - through an integrated, ethical, and sustainable approach. We accompany each object with close attention to its material, historical, and symbolic value, combining technical expertise with critical reflection on its context and uses. Our services include preventive and interventive conservation, documentation and decision-making support in exhibition, safeguarding, or reinterpretation processes, as well as consultancy and assistance with certifications and funding applications. We combine hands-on atelier practice and institutional collaboration with ongoing research and knowledge sharing. Our training branch includes technical workshops, team consultancy, and tailored capacity-building activities to meet the needs of institutions and professionals. Based in Porto, atelier CCC operates nationwide and values collaborative networks with specialists, researchers, and communities. We believe that to conserve is more than to preserve - it is to care for, to understand, and to ensure the living presence of cultural assets in contemporary life. 📍 Conservation and restoration 📍 Technical consultancy and support 📍 Training and capacity building 📍 Photography
