The final publication of the artistic project Trajetos Comunicantes, part of the Braga 25 Portuguese Capital of Culture programme, will be presented on Saturday, 21 February, at 6:00 pm at PISO. The event will feature a joint presentation by Luís Pinto, project coordinator and editor of the volume, and Madalena Oliveira, Director of CECS — Communication and Society Research Centre at the University of Minho, and lead researcher of the Audire project.
Trajetos Comunicantes: A Matéria da Escuta includes essays by artists, researchers and students who responded to the international open call launched in 2025, which also resulted in around 80 sound pieces forming part of the project activated in March 2025. Contributions include texts by André Perim, Angelos Kottas, Arjan Onderdendwijngaard, Cláudio Bezz, Frederico Pessoa, Karina Sletten, Khristina Otts, Laetitia Kozlova, Marcelino Ferreira, Nigel Bristow, Paul Devens, Ralph Hoyte, Ricardo Silvestre, Susana Vieira, Teresa Lima and Vanya Nesterets, exploring “listening as an essential practice for understanding and inhabiting the contemporary world, reclaiming sound as a sensitive medium that shapes public space, memory and collective life”.
The book also includes two photographic essay sections, developed from the conceptual framework and creative process of Trajetos Comunicantes.
Admission to the event is free.
