- On the semibreve scholar: between voices and echoes : sound, pedagogy, and emergent communities in experimental sound art festivals and networksPublication . Gomes, José AlbertoThis essay examines the annual Semibreve Festival and its Edigma Semibreve Scholar programme as a situated example of how sound art institutions collaborate with public communities to create spaces for collective experience, knowledge exchange, and emergent thoughts and practices. Developed within the framework of Re-Imagine Europe: New Perspectives for Action (2023–2027) project, it presents curatorial, and production processes centred on listening, experimentation, and technological innovation as forms of action to redistribute attention and visibility, without pretending to fully resolve systemic tensions. Within the European ecosystem of experimental festivals, Semibreve occupies a distinctive position as an intimate laboratory rooted in the local context of Braga, Portugal, while staying connected to a rich international network. The Edigma Semibreve Scholar programme extends the logic into a pedagogical dimension by integrating academic works from higher- education students into the festival programme. In doing so, they reaffirm learning as a crucial aspect of experimental arts, while also exposing the tension between openness and selection in the curatorial process. An analysis of artworks and ideas presented in the programme between 2021 and 2025 shows recurring concerns with sonic ecology, differences in perception, ironies of technological mediation, bodily and post-human subjectivities, with artists oper- ating on sensory and affective levels in the face of saturation, rather than explicit narratives. The relevance of programmes like Semibreve Scholar lies not in intending to create a full democracy, but in inhab- iting the tensions between creative freedom and institutionalisation in order to create space for productive encounters. Context: This text is one of the pilot studies of Re-Imagine Europe: New Perspectives for Action. In these contributions we explore and reflect on artistic practices and experimental approaches in the cultural field that can engage and activate audiences and communities to address ecological, social, and political challenges. The pilot studies provide an overview of practices of cultural organisations that can serve as models, recipes, or tools for transformation for current and future generations of cultural workers and artists.

- Seleção nacional - constelação #4: lagutropPublication . Ribas, Daniel; Cunha, PauloPortuguese cinema, in its reduced production capacity, has never had science fiction or fantastic cinema with visible expression. This does not mean that dystopian themes have not permeated various moments in our filmography. In this constellation, we intend to show some of these examples, lesser-known or even ignored works where computer screens from the beginnings of computing intersect with the wild ruins of an abandoned avant-garde architecture, and themes that revolve around the nuclear threat, the impossibility of motherhood, or the eschatologies of the end of the world.
- Seleção nacional - constelação #3: brandos costumesPublication . Ribas, Daniel; Cunha, PauloThis constellation questions one of the foundations of Salazar's national identity: the easy going ("brandos costumes"). Before and after the revolution, several films denounced the contradictions of this commonplace, exposing the natural violence and different forms of life in a human community.
- 모름 MorumPublication . Amorim, João PedroA group of Korean artists living in Portugal set out to bring their works together in an exhibition. From this shared diasporic condition — a common origin, a shared destination — the exhibition 모름 / Morum arises as an opportunity to experiment with plays of proximity and distance, to seek echoes and divergences. What persists from their origin? And how does the place they now inhabit shape their artistic expression? Bringing together distinct methodologies, materialities, and concerns, this exhibition presents works that, in some cases, renew the Korean craft tradition, and in others, explore contemporary visual languages. In common, these works question fixed notions of identity and affirm geographic and cultural displacement as a generative movement — one that produces meaning. Rather than proposing definitive answers, the exhibition offers a visual dialogue in which identity asserts itself as a constant becoming: a fluid, hybrid movement. Although we live in increasingly globalized — and thus homogenized — societies, it is still possible to find certain cultural specificities that act as points of resistance. The thread that guides this exhibition is the concept of Morum (모름). Unlike contemporary European languages, where terms such as “ignorance” (from Latin ignorantia) or “unknowing” are formed through negation — in- and gnarus, un- and knowing — Korean language offers positive, self-contained terms like Morum (모름) and the conjugations of the verb 모르다 (“to not know”). Here, not-knowing is affirmed as a dynamic state: an opening toward the unknown, a fertile ground for possibilities yet to be imagined. In the mythology of European rationalism, not-knowing came to be seen as a provisional deficiency — a temporary failure to be overcome by the advance of reason. This philosophical, scientific, and cultural revolution sought to banish the darkness of ignorance, believing that sooner or later the lights of Enlightenment would dispel the unknown. If the Enlightenment inaugurated a universalizing logic in which all things must be known, in the Korean language the dignity of not-knowing endures — a natural, honorable, and even elevated state of being.

- Seleção nacional - constelação #2: el doradoPublication . Ribas, Daniel; Cunha, PauloEl Dorado, which focuses on the problematic relationship between Portuguese cinema and Africa, presents, on the one hand, films from different decades that try to deal with the weight of colonization and, on the other, films that tried to show the reality unknown in the context of the dictatorship.
