Architectures of Planetary Well-Being

re:arc institute

The first re:arc institute symposium in São Paulo proposes an investigative experience on values, practices and ways of thinking that express and care for the interconnections of all life, based on the concept of architectures of planetary well-being.

Over two days, in three sessions, the event will bring together artists, researchers, and cultural agents to share knowledge through lectures, presentations, performances, and discussion groups. The invited participants will bring experiences related to collectivity, ecology, territory, design, and architecture, offering perspectives that engage with the history of the space and its intersections between performance and revolutionary imagination.

The program will explore spatial practices through the lens of reparation and engagement, and propose a reorientation of the temporality with which we perceive and create the built environment. Participants' presences and perspectives engage in a profound dialogue with the space, enhancing its intersections between performance and revolutionary imagination.
