Social Greenhouse and Arte-Passagem

University of Aveiro · Portugal

PhD candidate in Artistic Creation at the University of Aveiro (Portugal), João Fábio Cabral is developing the research SOCIAL GREENHOUSE: Body, plastic and Systemic Oppression in a transdisciplinary artistic practice, investigating contemporary mechanisms of control, conditioning and erasure of bodies.

Within this research, he develops the concept of Arte-Passagem, understood as a practice grounded in the crossing of artistic experience, refusing repetition, fixed scripts or formal stability. His practice operates in a continuous state of displacement, where body, action, environment and materiality become inseparable parts of the creative process.

Not everyone is given the same conditions to exist. Some find more light, more water and more room to grow. Others face restrictions, pruning, containment, disposal and disappearance.Social Greenhouse – O.S.
