Program Description

The goal of AiR CSL/FLAD 2022 is to challenge artists creating strategies on how to bring people from the surrounding communities to engage in the cultural space of contemporary creation of CSL. (The last City Hall survey stated that, besides Portuguese residents, more than 100 different cultural ethnicities live in this part of town (in between others, from diverse African countries, South-East Asia, China, Russia, Ukraine, in between others). The leitmotif is the idea of and reflection on the concept of community. What is 'community' and how is it built; how can we build 'community' through contemporary art? Many of our neighboring communities and their cultures are based on narratives passed on for generations, using story telling as a strategy for transmitting knowledge of the world and collective history. Could there be a story telling strategy through contemporary art and creation, creating a collective memory of the neighborhood? Apply and send us your strategy.
