A course shaped by journeys. The city is a space for constructing knowledge, and walking serves as the tool for a critical analysis of its conditions of existence. Cultural heritage is, above all, how we live, socialize, navigate, and think over time; it is about how we engage with what exists and what we produce for the future. Through four routes across different neighborhoods in São Paulo, the classes seek to deepen the analysis of the city through the lens of cultural heritage and explore the development of routes as a tool for inquiry. Cultural references, urban heritage, daily uses, the obsolete, politics, and the fetishization of cultural heritage will be the guiding themes of the activities.
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.
