The 4th Art, City, and Urbanities Meeting proposes a dialogue with the concepts of "borders" and "confluences" to foster reflection on the current urgencies and emergencies of art within urban space and the context of the geopolitical dynamics involving Brazil's North and Northeast regions. In doing so, we ask: what can we learn about urban contexts when we bring such diverse regions together? We know that, despite their diversity, cities face similar challenges. Political, economic, and environmental divisions increasingly reinforce separations, privileges, and dynamics of marginalization. Such conditions delineate and reinforce borders beyond the geographical, affecting the quality of life for humans and more-than-humans, as well as prospects for a collective future.
Organized by the Urbanities Research Group (PPGAV/UFBA), in collaboration with researchers from the Federal University of Acre, the 4th Meeting will take place from November 29 to December 2, 2022, at the School of Fine Arts (Salvador) and online.
