| 2021/07/13 - 2021/07/17 | Porto Summer School on Art & Cinema 2021 intends to be an advanced course of new practices of cinema, combining a critical
thought with the contact with creators of film and contemporary art. For one week, guests and participants will unfold how
modes of Survivance can produce creative forms for subverting violence in challenging times of severe sociopolitical and ecological
injustice. Moreover, Survivance, as coined by Native American scholar Gerald Vizenor, will be discussed from the perspective
of the ones often unaccounted for or ignored.

exploration of the objectivity-fiction dichotomy, focusing on the development of several media throughout the history of Portrait,
from painting to photography, concluding with the new digital media.

| 2021/09/20 | The thesis intends to make a reading for the cinema of Nicolas Bourriaud's relational aesthetics and to observe how the process,
