PARTE Summit will connect the cities of Coimbra and Loulé through Contemporary Art with two sessions of the international art seminar organized within the scope of the inaugural edition of the PARTE Portugal Art Encounters program.
The meeting, which takes place on the 30th of July in Coimbra and on the 6th of August in Loulé, at the cineteatro of Loulé, is a program by Joana Mayer, who presents a set of lectures, conversations and performances that frame and develop the issues with the collaboration of a multidisciplinary panel of artists, authors and other thinkers, also invited by the organization.
«It is driven by contemporary art, but convenes multiple spheres of culture and knowledge, and aims to involve all people interested in accompanying artistic creation in its relationship with the transformation of territories and societies», says Portugal Art Encounters in a note sent the essay.
PARTE Summit will propose a new format for reflection and knowledge sharing, which takes as a starting point 12 questions previously formulated by some of the most influential thinkers in the artistic world, gathered in Portugal at the invitation of the PARTE program.
In Loulé, the project challenges a moment of reflection and dialogue.
Andrea Lissoni, artistic director of Haus der Kunst, in Munich, ends the session with an ignition-question for ecological and social reflections, which will be accompanied by filmmaker and artist Jorge Jácome.
Solidarity, collaboration and artistic production in the creation of stories and communities will be some of the central themes of the questions proposed by Abaseh Mirvali, independent curator and former director and chief curator MCASB Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara; Clara Kim, chief curator of the MOCA Museum of Contemporary Arts in Los Angeles; Neringa Bumblienė, curator at the CAC Contemporary Art Center, in Vilnius, and curator of the Lithuanian Pavilion 59th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia; Philippe Alain-Michaud, curator at the Musée National d'Art Moderne, Center Pompidou, Paris; and Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy, director of Kunstituut Melly, in Rotterdam.
