ANTÓNIO COSTA VALENTE IS PRESENT AT INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ARTS AND SOCIETY

Recently, CIAC researcher António Costa Valente participated in the Seventeenth International Conference on the Arts in Society, with the communication “Timor Loro Sae, a Country and an Animated Film”, in online format. The event, which took place between the 4th and 6th of July 2022, is an interdisciplinary forum that aims to discuss the role of the arts in society.

Timor Loro Sae is the name of a country and the title of an animated film. The country is one of the youngest countries in the world, born in 2002. Vítor Lopes’ film was born at the same time, following political and social events. The initial narrative was transformed as events unfolded. The traces and stains of this historical film also live between transformations and transformations; and action in its 12 minutes graphics and mutants. In his presentation, António Costa Valente explored the graphic-narrative options of the film and the approach to the country’s history.

Seventeenth International Conference on the Arts in Society is a place of critical engagement, analysis and experimentation, where ideas are developed that connect the arts to their contexts in the world – on stage, in studios and theaters, in classrooms, in museums and galleries, on the streets and in communities.
