Mapping the Disappearances of Place: Artistic Processes and Community Intervention

Abstract

The paper reflects the action-research process under the context of the artistic creation Luto (Mourning), an artistic intervention project that is taking place in Tábua (Centro Region, Portugal), under the cultural programming project REDE ARTÉRIA, coordinated by the Portuguese theatre company O Teatrão. Reflecting the will and proposal of the local agents, the general starting point of the artistic project are the fires of the 15th of October 2017. Cartography made of layers, confessions of places, micro History, sociology of everyday life, autoethnography. The project crosses a documentary practice that involves the narratives of the residents and their relation with the historical dimension of the places, with the work on texts and other references that lead to the wider thought and questioning of the places.
