International Seminar Urban Activism – (surviving) in Times of Urgency

The international seminar Urban Activism – (surviving) in Times of Urgency will take place on November 3rd and 4th, 2021, in online format and will count on the participation of Passeio coordinators, Helena Pires and Zara Pinto Coelho and two of its members, Fabio La Rocca and Cintia Sanmartin Fernandes.

The aim of the seminar is to bring together researchers, specialists and activists from different countries in Latin America and Europe, who will try to problematize different aspects of the connection between art and politics in the contemporary world. Currently, “artivism” is moving through urban and digital environments, through political, artistic, social and educational fields, challenging the institutions and canons of the contemporary world. This contemporary activism represents the zeitgeist that characterizes today’s artistic-intellectual environment.
