Titled “Apresentação do corpo” [‘Presentation of the Body’], this discussion will draw on the reflections presented in the Electra 29 dossier, considering the body and its place in time, taking into account the major changes it is undergoing currently. The speakers will address issues related to our relationship with our own bodies, with the bodies of others, with gender, sex, society, culture and art.
With free admission, the talk will feature Nuno Faria (director of the Arpad Szenes - Vieira da Silva Museum), António Guerreiro (editor of Electra), film director Graça Castanheira, researcher and author P. Feijó, choreographer Vera Mantero, and playwright and author José Maria Vieira Mendes.
Electra will be present at ARCOlisboa 2026 from 28 to 31 de May, and Lisbon book Fair, from 27 May to 14 June.
