On October 24, at 6:00 p.m., School of Arts will host the presentation of Umbigo magazine #89 Apocalipse and #90 Práticas Celebrativas and Umbigo online newspaper #3. The session, which will take place in the Arts Bar, will feature the following speakers: Nuno Crespo, Elsa Garcia & António Néu, Carla Filipe, Hugo Almeida Pinho, Sara Castelo Branco, Álvaro Domingues, Joana Duarte and Duarte Belo.

After the presentation, at 7pm, the exhibition Dança do Labirinto, by Ricardo Jacinto, will open in the Exhibition Room of School of Arts, followed by a concert/performance by the artist. Admission is free.

Umbigo #89 highlights the theme of the Apocalypse and proposes a reflection on the fictions, ravishing fetishes of destruction and ruin that abound in media and social ideology.  The cover and Art Project are by Hugo Almeida Pinho & Sara Castelo Branco.

Issue #90 is dedicated to Celebrative Practices, exploring dance, clubs, raves, performance, ancestry and celebration. The special issue focuses on the Porto Santo School, in collaboration with Porta 33, connecting art, pedagogy, ecology, community and architecture. One of the covers is by Carla Filipe.

Umbigo Online Newspaper #3 includes an article in the zoom section on “The Encyclopedia of Black”, dedicated to the Enciclopédia Negra exhibition that was on show at School of Arts until October 4th.

Umbigo is an art, culture, fashion and lifestyle magazine published on paper quarterly and online with daily updates. Born in June 2002, it arose from the need to fill a space in Portugal due to the lack of magazines related to art and culture. It has undergone several transformations, broadening its themes and becoming more comprehensive.
