IMAGINE[trans]FORM[inter]ACTION

Students’ ability to imagine is the key to transformation. Imagination as the center of creative process establishes links between reality and Utopia. Curators of the Brazil Student Exhibition therefore also provoked students to articulate creative tactics of negotiation for the spaces-times situations we daily face. The selected projects, required to fit into a standard post office box, privilege imaginative and interactive proposals to transform local or global contexts, presented in three categories:

SPACE[ex]POSITIVE for the first time students designed their exhibition space, invited to explore positive and innovative ways to show the works of the other two categories in coexistence. The work selected for this category reflects the concepts of imagination, transformation and interaction.

EXPO[form]ACTION encompasses the projects from students of various institutions, developed with tutor’s guidance, covering the areas of design for performance: set, costume, lighting, sound, makeup, architecture, technology etc. for this category, 16 projects were selected by a jury.

[talk]ACTIVE is a sharing face-to-face and/or virtual meeting, presenting eight selected working methodologies and practices. This program takes place daily, within the exhibition in a dedicated space. The works were selected through video-lessons, motivated by the question: What is fundamental for artistic training in design for performance?
