4Cs - From Conflict to Conviviality through Creativity and Culture

Maria Eduarda Duarte

4 + 4 proposals for making sense of today's convivial cultures

During April, while we are in social isolation and restrained from making and attending exhibitions in the physical world, we invited 4 artists and 4 curators to take the stage (read the website of 4Cs) and use it to communicate with their works and words in a convivial culture.

Becoming: meditations on landscape (I)

A drawing on a white background, a black line that delineates the shape, that grows. A landscape, our landscapes, yours, everyday landscapes and those that we have yet to discover. Through three videos and three drawings, we will build a narrative, an emotional space to reflect on different relationships based on the elements of nature. "Becoming: meditations" is an online project/exhibition with works by Joana Patrão in close dialogue with Maria Eduarda Duarte.

4Cs HANDBOOK - Reflections and Actions Upon Mediation Practices

What does mediation mean/do for/in visual and culture studies? This is the question that we asked ourselves throughout the 4Cs, more particularly over the mediation labs and the workshops. In this handbook, we have gathered essays from curators and thinkers as well as the materials produced during the mediation activities of the 4Cs. Composed as much of theories as of practical examples, the handbook aims to provide a critical reflection on the transforming potential of mediation.
