The third biennial Art, City, and Urbanities meeting aims to reflect on the social, political, and imaginary disputes and reconfigurations of urban life in the current landscape of Brazil and Latin America, stimulating a discussion on actions arising from the interaction between bodies, territories, and experiences in public spaces. At a time of overlapping crises, we aim to consider the reformulations and paths of artistic strategies in urban spaces, seeking critical-reflexive propositions that address the challenges and boundaries of art within the urban context. Accordingly, the event intends to reflect on the current urgencies and emergencies of urban space through art, considering the mechanisms that turn the city into a state of exception and the forms of existence/resistance in the face of these transformations.
The event, which will take place from November 30 to December 4, 2020, consists of an online program featuring various activities (conversations, panels, thematic sessions, an exhibition, and lectures). Artists, researchers, scientists, educators, creators, content producers, professionals from diverse fields, and intellectuals from anywhere in the world are invited to submit their theoretical research/projects (in Portuguese or Spanish) to participate in the communication sessions, and their artistic practices to be part of a virtual exhibition.
