EXHIBITION<\/strong>
4TH TO 7TH OF JUNE, 2025

*\u201cI Don\u2019t Do \u201d<\/em> is the title of the graduation exhibition of a generation unafraid to declare what it is not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At a time when everything demands quick definitions, visible stances, and solid discourse, we choose openness, doubt, and provocation. The empty space in the title is no mistake: it\u2019s a blank to be filled in. An open sentence that adapts and transforms according to the voice that uses it. A mutable structure that invites affirmation or refusal: \u201cI don\u2019t give a damn.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t belong.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t have a clue.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t do wars.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t do shit.\u201d Each possibility is valid and part of the constellation of discourses this exhibition welcomes \u2014 be it critique, playfulness, manifesto, resistance, or honest acknowledgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a School of Arts and Design, we often face stereotypes that associate us with doing nothing. We respond with irony, freedom, and creativity. The asterisk in the title \u201cI Don\u2019t Do *\u201d is an open space for interpretation and individual identity. Each person fills it in with what defines them \u2014 or what they refuse to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than a linguistic game, \u201cI Don\u2019t Do *\u201d reflects the essence of the artistic and academic process: working without certainties, failing, experimenting, building meaning along the way. Here, being lost is an opportunity. We cultivate critical thinking and capabilities that go beyond definitive answers. Each work is a statement of intent, a social or existential stance, an awareness of the creator\u2019s role in society \u2014 of what they choose to question, reject, or transform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo\u201d is also an affirmative word. It is resistance. It is letting go of what no longer speaks to us. It is refusing passivity in the face of political correctness. We do what we feel, not what we should. We do a lot, we want change \u2014 but what is it we don\u2019t do? What doesn\u2019t represent us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 4 to 7 June, this space gathers encounters. People and ideas fill the rooms, to see what is being done and what has been done. The work on display symbolises the final milestone for these students whose cycle comes to a close. It celebrates their academic journey, countering the pressure for immediate results with the emancipation of the intangible and the act of listening to one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end \u2014 which is always a new beginning \u2014 one must make choices and set boundaries. We look ahead with more questions than answers, but along the way we\u2019ve learned not only what we want to affirm, but also what we don\u2019t care for in the world we\u2019re now shaping with our hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI Don\u2019t Do\u201d is, ultimately, the space where each one can be. Or not be. And that, in itself, is already doing a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5TH OF JUNE, 2025
10AM – 12.30AM
2PM VISIT TO THE EXHIBITION
ROOM 50 EP1 – ESAD.CR<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Dialogue with Creatives<\/em> is a colloquium\/journey taking place in the exhibition space of ESAD.CR\u2019s 2025 Final Year Show. It aims to generate a forward-looking conversation between graduating students, teachers, and designers with different experiences and perceptions of \u201cdesign ecologies\u201d in Portugal and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key questions include: what can a school like ESAD.CR offer in preparing students today? What major changes are expected in this and other similar institutions? How can students be ready for the big transformations ahead in society?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event has two parts:
First, a forum where designers are introduced and invited to share experiences, presenting one project from their student days and one professional project, discussing exercises, methods, goals, and expectations of design as a pedagogical tool.
The second part is a student-led guided tour of the final-year exhibition in a direct, dialogical mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final internship \u2014 held in the second semester of the third year \u2014 is the highlight of the BA in Cultural Programming and Production. This 600-hour internship takes place in recognised cultural organisations, projects, or institutions, aiming to provide students with excellent knowledge in areas such as exhibition curating, consultancy and cultural project management, communication and content production, festival programming, and cultural production \u2014 whether in public or private, institutional or independent contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matching the students\u2019 profiles with their host institutions benefits from the programme\u2019s teaching staff, who maintain active professional practice and support the establishment of national and international partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the significance of this stage in their academic journey, the students decided to create a cultural programme for the final-year exhibition that includes their host institutions \u2014 holding conversation circles in the pine grove to present the school to institutions and vice versa. This year, internships also took place at Festival Tremor, Teatro Nacional D. Maria II, Teatro Municipal do Porto, Largo Resid\u00eancias, Associa\u00e7\u00e3o Emerge, 95 Art Gallery, and Caldas da Rainha Municipality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
