Her work assembles installation, music, text, performance and interactivity. Bossa Nova is constantly an inspiration and as a result she has a poetic prose. Morgado’s stories are very short; fragments of daily life. </span><span style='font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;' lang="EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></font></p><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p><font color="#000000" size="3" face="Times New Roman"> </font><p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;" class="MsoNormal"><font color="#000000"><span style='font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;' lang="EN-GB">Morgado uses intriguing techniques to engage spectators. Words are displayed in different shapes and often explore the senses, leading to a multisensory participation of the viewer. This is an outstanding point in her works, which has influences of Helio Oiticica, one of the pioneers in the viewer participation movement.
