Territory

Lisbon 3-5 July

2025 – edition 12

Ideological, physical, disciplinary territories. Private and public territory. The territory of the arts, the territory of the sciences. Borders as conventions, abstractions, personal or collective. Defining boundaries, overcoming boundaries, dissolving boundaries. Political territory, communal, liberal, democratic. Absence of territory, materialism, material nihilism. Graffiti territory: when does “historical” graffiti end and “modern” graffiti begin? Where are the limits of the “urban” territory? What can be defined as “the territory of the user”? Art and Place — aren’t they part of the same territory as Public Art?

These, among many others, are questions we seek to explore through a solid program of presentations, both in-person and online, with a well-balanced mix of quality and quantity. In addition, a parallel series of activities will take place, including film screenings and exhibitions. With the support of FBAUL/CIEBA and YYCS, in dialogue with our regular publications.
