Roundtable

Art and Activism in research

October 8, 2024, 15h30

2nd Floor Corridor, North | South Library

A roundtable discussion with researcher artists from three artistic installations and an activist documentary that intends to spark reflection on: How can art be a key element for eco-social transformation? How can art and research in Social and Human Sciences, particularly in the field of political ecology, intertwine, and what may come of this relationship? How can artistic activism contribute towards art no longer being merely a representation but an integral part of the struggle for life?

Moderator: Kácio dos Santos – Researcher Artist (dance artist, PhD candidate in Education at UFPI, visiting doctoral student at CES) and Gustavo García-Lopez (CES)
