Chamada MM* 2023

THE IMAGINARY OF THE MOUNTAIN - In this 4th edition, Magic Mountain* Art and Landscape focuses on the generic theme of the imaginary of the mountain. In their material concreteness and changing appearance, mountains reveal the entire universe. They bear witness to the transformation of the world, and allow us to investigate its origins. In their telluric force, they shape the personal and collective experience of the territory, their iconographic value being symmetrical to that of the perceptive experience and the prodigious visions they provide.

In this sense, and in the line of previous editions, MM* intends, once again, to become a stage for this conflict between the mountain and the senses, a place of convergence of the axes of artistic creation, research and fruition, not only around iconic images, but of what is possible to be seen and experienced from the mountains.

With this horizon, MM* promotes the development, sharing and presentation of (1) heterodox and original artistic proposals, to be exhibited, as well as (2) communication proposals based on creative practices, related to the mountain imaginary, the Serra da Estrela or any other mountain. The artistic projects and the communications selected by the scientific and artistic commission will be published in a special issue of Stellae* Revista de Arte (http://ojs.labcom-ifp.ubi.pt/index.php/stellae).
