SEMINAR<\/strong>
DECEMBER 11TH AND 12TH OF 2024
ROOM 9 OF EP1 – ESAD.CR<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The primary aim of this seminar is to explore the role of cultural production in the socioeconomic transformations of the past decade within the Portuguese context. We begin with the following question: assuming that art transcends mere reproduction of reality and functions\u2014particularly in times of artistic capitalism\u2014as a driver of social change, what are the implications of rethinking Portugal in its “post-Troika, post-2008 crisis” context from the perspective of cultural work and precarity? As early as 2018, Ana Teixeira Pinto raised a similar question, drawing attention to the paradox of visual creation, which lies at the heart of Lisbon\u2019s gentrification and re-signification\u2014processes that lack comparable creative economy precedents in prior decades.
Between 2018 and 2023, this dynamic appears only to have intensified: Portugal is now often highlighted as a preferred destination for \u201cdigital nomads,\u201d while public art, music festivals, summits, and large-scale events of all kinds have become defining features of the country\u2019s urban identity.
What remains unclear, however, is the range of strategies employed by artists, writers, filmmakers, designers, and others to critically reflect on the active role culture has played in this purported \u201ceconomic recovery.\u201d If cultural production is understood as an active participant in the transformations of the past decade, then culture stands at the center of increasingly public and omnipresent contradictions and debates surrounding sustainability, structural poverty and exclusion, and environmental degradation.
This seminar seeks to investigate these strategies while also addressing the potential of cultural creation to imagine alternative futures and radical reimaginings of affective and caring practices, emerging from interaction and cooperation among participating forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
