Atravessar a Fronteira - Os novos babilónios
Event
The concept 'New Babylonians' was developed by Guy Debord, Constant Nieuwenhuys, Har Oudejans and Pinot-Gallizio within the situationist project, New Babylon, and is related to some of the pivotal notions that underpinned the movement - such as psychogeography, wandering, unitary urbanism. Inspired by this concept the artist and curator, Pedro G. Romero, proposes to Galeria Municipal do Porto an exercise in questioning our perception of the lives of nomadic groups, Romani people, flamencos and exiled liberationists.
The exhibition offers an analysis of the sensitive field of these approaches to life with a particular focus on their movement in the Americas, Africa and other Atlantic archipelagos. The city of Porto acts as a starting geography for inquiring about routes, flows and wanderings of these ‘new Babylonians’ from the Portuguese context and its border territories.
