Description
“CONTRAST: Multidisciplinary artistic network of Art, Architecture, Design and
Photography initiatives” project, headed by the AAI-CEAU-FAUP research group,
coordinated by Pedro Leão Neto, to be jointly managed with ESMAD-uniMAD and
i2ads-FBAUP, was selected for funding through DGARTES support program – Criação
e Edição. CONTRAST is an interdisciplinary cultural informative project focused
on the creation of a network of artistic initiatives and critical reflection
encouraging debates about art, architecture and design. Through proposals coming
from Creation, Editorial and Teaching worlds of photography in several
disciplinary areas, we pretend to reinforce the artistic and editorial offer, as
well as the access and participation in the arts. This network is based on the
partnership established between nine schools coming from the art, architecture,
design and photography areas, among them: Ar.Co; DARQ - Faculty of Science and
Technology of the University of Coimbra; DCAM - Film and Media Arts Department
at Universidade Lusófona; Escola Superior Artística do Porto (ESAP); Escola
Superior de Media Artes e Design (ESMAD); Faculdade de Arquitectura da
Universidade do Porto (FAUP); Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade de Lisboa
(FBAUL); Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade do Porto (FBAUP); Instituto
Politécnico de Tomar (IPT) and three other schools: Liverpool School of
Architecture (LSA), Zaragosa Unidad Predepartamental de Arquitectura da
Universidade de Zaragoza (UNIZAR) e Barcelona Universitat Politècnica de
Catalunya BarcelonaTech (UPC).
