{CURA} continues its series of ideas competitions on themes aligned with current architectural, urban, and social discussions, operating under the premise that architecture is a profession rooted in action.

Produced exclusively by the company in Brazil, these slabs are the centerpiece of the Unlimited Portobello collection and are now available at all Portobello Shop locations nationwide.

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.
