Contexts of creation: artistic projects presentation session 2
11:00 AM | Parque Urbano Condes de Fijô (Piscinas) – Tent
Facilitation: Angus MacKechnie [UK]
A second session is dedicated to artistic proposals that explore languages, formats, and possible relationships with public space. Speaking in the first person, artists present their trajectories, choices, and working directions, within a context that privileges proximity, curiosity, and the natural continuation of conversations beyond the presentation itself.
Imagining: culture, co-existence, and the city in an unstable world

The city is never silent. It speaks through storefronts and square corners, through negotiations, celebrations and conflicts, through the invisible codes that organise how we meet, trade, argue and care. Every person, every business, every interaction leaves a trace. We shape the city through our decisions and habits, and the city shapes us in return, influencing how we perceive reality and how we relate to one another. If this mutual influence is constant, the question is not whether we are involved, but where this shared trajectory is leading us.
