OPEN CALL — SELECTED ARTIST
We are pleased to announce that Filipe dos Santos Barrocas has been selected to participate in Confluences, an artistic development programme co-created by Ci.CLO, the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) and ARTJOG, developed within the framework of the Bienal Fotografia do Porto 2027 and the Asia-Europe Cultural Festival (AECFest).
Over the coming months, Filipe will engage in a process of research, dialogue and artistic development in collaboration with Indonesian artist Timoteus Anggawan Kusno. The programme includes a six-week residency in Porto, curatorial follow-up and the development of an exhibition to be presented as part of the Bienal Fotografia do Porto 2027 and AECFest 2027.
The selection resulted from a joint process conducted by Ci.CLO, ASEF and ARTJOG, recognising the consistency of Filipe's artistic practice, the conceptual maturity of his research and the strong dialogue his work establishes with the curatorial framework Silent Systems / Sistemas Silenciosos. The selection also recognised the potential of his practice to contribute to the core purpose of the residency: creating a space for research, collaboration and artistic development between two artists from different cultural contexts, fostering new perspectives, methodologies and forms of artistic production through dialogue and exchange.
Congratulations, Filipe. We look forward to beginning this journey together.
