JOURNEYS TO THE IN-BETWEEN
Speculative walks and open talks by Artéria

Journeys to the In-Between is a series of walks and open talks, curated by Artéria, which takes so-called Greater Lisbon as a field of research, looking for the unexpected, contact zones between different homogenized urban realities. Situates itself in concrete places to destabilize binarisms that persist in practices and discourses related to the urban space, and to reflect on notions like centre and periphery, public and private, chaos and order.

The geographical notions of centre and periphery are used to describe dependency relations — cultural, economic and political — between places: those in command and those who are subjected. The centred vision describes a focused vision that isolates what is seen, reflecting reality in a sequence of external images; while the peripheral vision, blurred and fragmentary, situates the body, enfolding it in the context. From a centralized view, the periphery corresponds to nonspecific places, without history but full of desirable resources needed for the development of the centre, and consequently, for the maintenance of domination. How can we recognize the narratives obscured by the centralized view? What other symbolic relations can be produced if we invert the map of Lisbon?

Journey #01 — Centre and Periphery

WALK
Friday 24/07/2020 17.00 (in English)
Saturday 25/07/2020 17.00 (in Portuguese)
On a journey from Belém to Trafaria, we seek to outline the intricate relations historically produced between North and South, crossing different temporalities and narratives, altering between fiction and reality. With the help of our body and senses, we trace signs that translate or destabilize the spatial expression of a play of forces.

A museum assistant will help with the purchase of the boat tickets
Approximate duration of the walk: 3 hours (approx. 3 km)
