#CitiesofLightLisbon
*BEYOND THE ENLIGHTENMENT: SEISMIC SHIFTS, URBAN IMAGERY*
A one-day symposium |  Culturgest, Lisbon, Portugal  | 31 October 2018

*A joint initiative of the UPA - Urban Photographers Association, together
with Culturgest, Institute of Art History (FCSH-UNL), Centre for Urban and
Community Research (CUCR), Goldsmiths, University of London and Openvizor.*


Taking the city of Lisbon as its reference, along with the cultural and
social reverberations that, still today, echo from the earthquake of 1
November 1755 – an event that stimulated the imagination of philosophers
and artists all around Europe – Beyond the Enlightenment: Seismic Shifts,
Urban Imagery enjoys the participation of photographers, artists and
thinkers linked to geography, history and other social sciences. Identity,
post-colonialism, the circulation of images, people and cultures, the
visibility and invisibility of immigrant populations in the urbanism and
everyday life of the city, are the subjects that will be discussed
throughout the day.  In the evening, Hiwa K will give a keynote
presentation: the artist invites us to join him on a journey that begins
with his own artistic positioning, and through which he seeks to
deconstruct the world around him, questioning the excessive burden that
western models place on other cultural configurations.
