In order to combat depoliticisation in the university environment, the student audience is invited to take part in a film screening that stimulates questioning about the current social paradigm and established norms. Cravina: this is not a pipe promotes questioning and self-questioning through participatory artistic processes. For this reason, it also has a programme aimed at children, with the aim of bringing them closer to contemporary art by introducing them to non-Western artists and works. The programme also includes poetry sessions hosted by migrants, starting in May. Throughout the project’s various sessions, participants are challenged to create reflective texts that will be published in November.
Curated by the Cravina Collective
Cravina: this is not a pipe is part of Braga 25 Portuguese Capital of Culture as part of the Todo-o-Terreno programme.
Seeking to support and contribute to the flourishing of a greater number of independent cultural initiatives in the city of Braga, the Todo-o-Terreno programme aims to support projects that envisage a proposal for regular artistic programming in venues in the municipality of Braga throughout the year 2025.
From June 19 to September 12, 2024, this programme’s call for projects took place in the following artistic areas: Music, Visual Arts, Literature, Speech and Thought, Performing Arts and Cinema and Moving Image. The call received a total of 46 applications, which were assessed by a jury made up of Elisabete Paiva, artistic director of Materiais Diversos; Marta Bernardes, coordinator of the education and cultural mediation service of the museums and libraries of the City of Porto and Luís Sousa Ferreira, deputy artistic director of TNDMII. Eight projects proposed by the city’s cultural agents were selected to form part of the official programme of the Portuguese Capital of Culture.
