COMMON IMAGINARIES

4th Research Seminar on Art and City_DESILHA 2024, Graduate Program in Visual Arts at the School of Fine Arts of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. Proposal: Livia Flores, André Leal, Barbara Marcel and Raquel Versieux. Organization and production: Livia Flores, André Leal, Barbara Marcel and Giovanni Festa.


The International Colloquium Common Imaginaries calls for research for which the idea of cinema is productive as a mode of operation that reaches out to the collective, enabling the establishment of common imaginaries. Shifting the interest from reception to production, we consider that film can agglomerate interactions that already exist in the territory, emerging as a visibility supplement for social and artistic processes interested in collaboration. Approaching so-called community-based artistic practices, the screen becomes a porous interface, incorporating what is not immediately visible into the filmic texture. Between montage and mise-en-scène, the territory, location and set exchange positions, constituting a situated experience in which differences can take place.


This colloquium brings together researchers in art, philosophy, literature and cinema from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia and Italy, with a focus on Latin American experiences. Held in person at the Centro de Cultura da Justiça Federal on May 21 and 28 and at the Cinemateca do Museu de Arte Moderna from May 22 to 24, both in the city of Rio de Janeiro, the program includes an exhibition of films related to the research presented. Proposed by artists and researchers from the research group Atotality, Common Imaginaries is organized by the Postgraduate Program in Visual Arts of the School of Fine Arts of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and is funded by Capes (Proex and PrInt).
