On Friday 11 September 2026, we welcomed Prof. Fátima Vieira (University of Porto) to discuss Relational Micro-Utopias – What happens to utopian thinking when the future no longer feels like a distant horizon, but seems increasingly absorbed into the present? Could the future of our cities already be emerging through small, relational transformations? And, if so, to what extent are these relational micro-utopias capable of transforming the societies in which they emerge and expanding the boundaries of what is possible?

The first Late Afternoon Talk of this academic year was organized in collaboration with CECC and brought together students, researchers and Professors in our community.

On Friday 11 September 2026, we had the opportunity to visit the Disobedience Archive with Ângela Ferreira, whose artwork provides the exhibition display for the archive curated by Marco Scotini.

The Disobedience Archive is a transforming and travelling video archive with more than one hundred documentary and art films that focus on various of forms of resistance, social struggle, and collective action. The Lisbon edition was inaugurated during the XVI Lisbon Summer School for the Study of Culture (29 June – 3 July 2026), organized by the Lisbon Consortium and Escola das Artes, UCP.

During the visit, we learned about the inspiration behind Ângela Ferreira’s artwork and the artistic path that took shape in apartheid-era South Africa. The selection of films at Galeria Fundação Amélia de Mello feature Ângela Ferreira’s film Adventures in Mozambique and the Portuguese Tendency to Forget (2016) that invites the viewer to question colonial archives and memory, as well as seventeen other films around the world under the themes of Gender Disobedience and Insurgent Communities and Colonialism.

The Disobedience Archive can be visited until 21 September, 14-18:00 every business day (UCP Lisbon, Library building).

To look back at the curatorial project “What We Can(‘t) Hold” that closes in Monday (22 June), watch the interview with Leonor Nazaré (Senior Curator, CAM) that is now available on the Lisbon Consortium Youtube channel (link in bio).

The interview is part of the curatorial project of the MA students in Culture Studies at Universidade Católica Portuguesa. The exhibition is a result of the Curatorial Practices seminar and the partnership with CAM - Centre for Modern Art, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.

In this video, recorded in person at CAM-Gulbenkian, the students talk to Leonor Nazaré. With a unique background spanning literature, aesthetics and art criticism, Leonor Nazaré shares her vast experience and guides us in a reflection on the encounter between the artwork, the space and the public.

Applications are ongoing to the MA program in Culture Studies!

The Management of the Arts and Culture track is ​designed to prepare students for a career in the cultural sector. It combines an admittedly theoretical discussion about the complexity of the art system in a globalized world with some practically-oriented modules designed to develop skills in the fields of curatorship, cultural management and cultural production. This track tackles the main issues in the study of culture and promotes a meaningful and comprehensive critical reflection about the arts to form effective thinkers and managers in the cultural field. The program also offers opportunities of professional immersion (internships) so as to extend student learning beyond the space of the University.

Global Cultures and the Arts track promotes a broad discussion about cultural phenomena and trains students to develop a critical, structured reflection on how artistic and cultural objects and practices produce meaning. The track is organized around theoretical seminars (common core) and thematic seminars that address issues relevant to the field of Culture Studies and our contemporary times.

The program also offers opportunities of professional immersion so as to extend student learning beyond the space of the University.
