Cabeça Colectiva is a series of six conversations with and for artists, which aims to foster discourse(s) around contemporary painting.

The sessions will be led by invited artists who will discuss artworks and texts of their choice. Their selection reflects on specific and broad themes—such as identity, performance, and digital media—to address subject positions within the field of painting.

The guest artists are Ana Manso, Bruno Pacheco, Evy Jokhova, Leyla Gediz, Max Ruf and Tomás Cunha Ferreira.

Six two-hour sessions are planned, after work hours. The sessions will take place at the School of Arts of the Autonomous University of Lisbon, between February and June.

Applications may be submitted through this form.

The group of selected candidates will be announced at the end of February. Those selected must participate in the entire cycle. If selected, the candidate must pay a registration fee of 30 euros.

Cabeça Colectiva is an initiative of the School of Arts, coordinated by visual artist Ana Cardoso.

The deadline for applications is February 21st.

Von Calhau! brings together several worlds in the same broadcast. A journey inspired by the early days of radio, when science and the beyond were confused. Eternity in a piece of static, the absurd without a break.

Erika Magnusson and Daniel Andersson’s “Logistics” (2012) is a Swedish experimental film, widely regarded as the longest ever made, with a running time of 857 hours (35 days and 17 hours). The film follows the life cycle of a pedometer, starting at the point of sale in Stockholm and working its way back through its distribution, production and raw material sourcing. The narrative unfolds in real time, offering a slow meditation on the global supply chain and the vast systems behind everyday consumer goods. By focusing on the mundane yet monumental processes of modern production, “Logistics” invites viewers to rethink their relationship to consumption and time.

The first 8 hours will be shown in person on December 14th, with free admission, at the School of Arts. The full film will be available online from 10:00 am on Sunday, on the School of Arts website.

Cinema Círculo aims to showcase works, formats and geographies that are underrepresented in the current distribution system and cinemas in Lisbon. A cinema that, for one reason or another, finds itself on the margins, without space, outside of a commercial logic that does not aim for profit, but that seeks reflection, debate and critical thinking.

Applications are now open for the Postgraduate in Interarts, which starts in February 2025.

Coordinated by Luís Lima and Alexandra Martins, the Postgraduate Course in Interarts aims to provide students with practical skills and conceptual tools in the area of contemporary art, with artistic installation and performance as its main disciplinary anchors. Taking into account the growing relationship between art, body and technology, the curricular plan presents an interdisciplinary approach focused on expanded artistic production, bringing together curricular units of a laboratory and theoretical-practical nature.  

With a strong connection to the professional sector, the course also aims to encourage students' contact with the world of work, featuring a teaching staff with prestigious Portuguese artists, as well as several emerging artists. In order to complement the study program, the postgraduate course also offers a series of seminars with guest teachers in the areas of art and technology. At the end of the course, each student must present the project developed throughout the year, under tutoring, in a collective exhibition, curated by the coordinators.

The teaching staff brings together artists and/or researchers Alexandra Martins, Ana Mira, António Poppe, Bárbara Paixão, João Pedro Fonseca, João Polido Gomes, José Marmeleira, Luís Lima, Tatiana Macedo and the duo Von Calhau!.
