Porto Summer School on Art & Cinema 2025
Technology/Transformation
30 jun – 4 jul
School of Arts, Universidade Católica Portuguesa
Curated by Daniel Ribas, Inês Grosso, José Alberto Gomes and Nuno Crespo
 

Culminating one year on from the Technology/Transformation exhibition (at the Porto Campus, co-organized by the Serralves Foundation and the Portuguese Catholic University), the 2025 Summer School will focus on contemporary practices that challenge the limits of the language of cinema and contemporary art. Considering the historical moment presented in the exhibition, the aim is to provide space to discuss the diruptive gestures that contemporary art has promoted since the 1970s, when the tools of video and Super 8 became abundant. Acknowledging the experimental practice of these works, we will try to give an account of a current perspective, recognizing, both in experimental cinema and in contemporary art that uses moving images, vibrations of that inaugural moment.
