WHAT CAN RURAL PLACES SAY TO EACH OTHER?
\nPresentation of artistic research between Viseu D\u00e3o Laf\u00f5es (Portugal) and Abruzzo (Italy)<\/p>\n

March 1st, 9:00 p.m.
\nPenna Sant\u2019Andrea (Abruzzo, Italy)<\/p>\n

Last Saturday, at Bar da Augusto, \u201cArjotvene nn\u00e0 tenote na case?\u201d was presented in Penna
\nSant’Andrea (Abruzzo, Italy), the result of artistic research by Lu\u00eds Costa, coordinator of the Binaural Nodar association, carried out in mountain landscapes and communities in the Italian region of Abruzzo, in a co-production between Binaural Nodar, Bambun APS, and Centro Studi Don Nicola Jobbi. This research is also part of the Tramontana network and is co-financed by the European Union’s Erasmus+ program.<\/p>\n

In the context of this doctoral research, Lu\u00eds Costa explored the empirical, sensory, and imaginary relationships between rural locations in the Portuguese region of Viseu D\u00e3o Laf\u00f5es and the Italian region of Abruzzo, through a series of four new audiovisual essays that problematize the concept of the \u201cthird place.\u201d<\/p>\n

With this research, carried out in collaboration with two Portuguese research centers: ID+ (University of Aveiro) and LiDA (School of Art and Design, Caldas da Rainha), the nine audiovisual essays included in Lu\u00eds Costa’s doctoral research are now complete, reflecting various aspects of the relationship established between rural locations, such as popular religiosity, mountain flora, textile crafts, the relationship between humans and animals, irrigation systems, among others.<\/p>\n

The supervisory team for Luis Costa’s doctoral research is composed of Prof. Gra\u00e7a Magalh\u00e3es, Prof. Susana Duarte, and Prof. S\u00e9rgio Eliseu.<\/p>\n
