CALL FOR WORKSHOPS

Following the main guidelines for this year’s Summer School, we invite artists, scholars and collectives to submit a proposal for a 3 hours’ workshop (deadline: May 31) to take place during the mornings of the School. These workshops can take different forms: more performative or more theoretical, addressing the pressing issues presented in the curatorial text. 

Submitted proposals should reflect the Summer School’s main theme tracing a vast array of lines of inquiry. Among others, proposals could be articulated to explore either through research or artistic practice topics like:

• Brazilian Epistemological Entanglements
• The Possibility of a Southern Modernism
• Indigenous Futurisms and Science-Fictions
• Aural Visual Travels on Brazilian Cultures
• Cross-cultural relations between Portugal and Brazil
• Questions of Political Awareness on Class, Race and Gender
• Artistic and Animism Practices
• Indigenous Cultures and Imaginaries

We strongly suggest the articulation of the above topics with artistic practices.
