	Arte / Pensamento / Som Aulas Abertas 2021 25 FEB 2021 – 01 JUL 2021 Curators: Diogo Tudela e José Alberto Gomes This edition took sound as its central axis, understanding it not merely as a sensory phenomenon but as a critical and epistemological tool. The programme explored sound as a practice capable of reconfiguring perception, discourse, and social structures, articulating it with political, philosophical, ecological, and technological questions. Sound thus emerged as a means of producing thought, creating worlds, and challenging disciplinary boundaries. More information

The programme brought together cinema, visual arts, sound, and critical reflection to address issues such as political ecology, migration, censorship, survival, and representations of the non-human, proposing art as a space of resistance, imagination, and the reconfiguration of relations between nature, culture, and power.
