CONTRAST: Multidisciplinary artistic network of Art, Architecture, Design and Photography initiatives
“CONTRAST: Multidisciplinary artistic network of Art, Architecture, Design and Photography initiatives” (CONTRAST AADF) 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 Creation and Edition.
CONTRAST AADF 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: ARCO – Centro de Arte e Comunicação Visual; DARQ – Departamento de Arquitectura da Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia da Universidade de Coimbra; DCAM – Departamento de Cinema e Artes dos Media at Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação – Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias Lisboa; ESAP – Escola Superior Artística do Porto; ESMAD – Escola Superior de Media, Artes e Design, Vila do Conde; FAUP – Faculdade de Arquitectura da Universidade do Porto; FBAUL – Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade de Lisboa; FBAUP – Faculdade de Belas Artes da Universidade do Porto; IPT – Instituto Politécnico de Tomar; and three schools outside Portugal: Liverpool School of Architecture (LSA), Zaragosa Unidad Predepartamental de Arquitectura da Universidade de Zaragoza (UNIZAR) e Barcelona Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya BarcelonaTech (UPC).
At FBAUL the project coordinators are Professors Victor dos Reis and Rogério Taveira.
