Unfinished II

Produced by Armazém 22 and curated by Rogério Nuno Costa, Unfinished II — A Academia Enquanto Performance ("academy as a performance") is a 12-day experimental platform for research and creation in the field of performing arts. People starting their careers in various creative areas, such as theater, dance, visual arts, or writing, can participate in the event. The selected participants get access to the incubator to develop their projects without the pressure of finalizing or public presentation. They benefit in many ways from the consulting, monitoring, and mentoring of art professionals.

Unfinished approaches artistic thinking and working specifically through performance research, dance philosophy and criticism, feminist, anti-racist, and post-colonial research, anthropology, curation, writing, and archival practices. The education focuses on practical research, new educational paradigms, and non-hierarchical and horizontal interdisciplinary thinking.

Unfinished II — A Academia Enquanto Performance was organized on 22.7. - 2 August 2019 at the Armazém 22 cultural hub in the city of Vila Nova de Gaia.
