Developed over three chapters, the exhibition Affective Utopia will approach questions and challenges relative to the production of knowledge in the arts and curatorial practices: a reflection on the tensions and conflicts generated by South\/North issues, geographic divisions, cultural assimilation and the urgent need for decolonization of thought in curatorial processes and artistic production.<\/p>\n

The artists in this exhibition discuss the different ways of thinking and performing utopia in contemporary art from a broad range of angles. The concept of utopia entails two related but contradictory perceptions: the aspiration to a better world, and the acknowledgement that its form may only ever live in our imaginations through the artists\u2019 fictional reconstructions of reality. Affective Utopia reflects this general ambivalence, but it also poses the question of how art can be a tool for critical reflection of one\u2019s own socialization process and to one\u00b4s connections to affective geographic concepts of belonging, origin and diaspora.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the art-space residency is to experiment with delocalizing context relevant practices in order to offer new perspectives on discussions happening in Paris, and internationally.<\/p>\n

Hangar in Lisbon produces exhibitions as spaces of action for public engagement beyond spectatorship and through strategies that produce sociality. Delocalized at KADIST during the time of this exhibition, Bruno Leit\u00e3o and M\u00f3nica de Miranda\u2019s project will reframe this approach towards public engagement in another context and towards another audience.<\/p>\n

*The artists in the exhibition have all worked with Hangar in Lisbon through residencies, talks or exhibitions.<\/p>\n
