Procur.arte is a cultural association based in Lisbon. Since 2005 it works for the development and dissemination of creative industries, through the creation of critic and constructive projects in the fields of arts, culture, creativity and innovation. We invest in the decentralization and democratization of culture as means of developing and forming audiences, so that they are capable of reflecting about the contemporary world, through the practice and enjoyment of arts.

We focus our activity on the development of mechanisms that enable the development of communication platforms between national and international cultural agents, promoting networking, intercultural dialogue and enhancing the economy of culture. We invest in the creation, development and production of multidisciplinary works that claim a dynamic research and innovation, with a particular focus on the work of emerging artists.

ENTRE MARGENS 2011/2013

Entre Margens (Between river banks) was a project of artistic intervention in the historical centres of Douro region cities. For three consecutive summers (2011-13), dozens of photography exhibitions were shown in the public space, complemented with performing arts shows (cinema, music, theatre, dance and multi-disciplinary), together with related colloquiums.The project aims to promote new ways of interpreting contemporary creative output, whilst reviving public spaces under the XXI Agenda: local sustainable development, cultural co-operation and environmental preservation.Entre Margens encourages and challenges up-and-coming artists and photographers to take a fresh look at the region, rediscover a universe centered in the river, the wine and its people, but not only defined by these elements.Entre Margens is promoted by the Museu do Douro Foundation, curated and coordinated by the Cultural Association Procur.arte. It gathers the support of eight municipalities of the Douro region – Amarante, Lamego, Mirandela, Peso da Régua, Oporto, Santa Marta de Penaguião, Vila Nova de Gaia and Vila Real – and it is partially financed by European project QREN ON.2 – Large Cultural Events. Entre Margens was presented at Fête de l’Éurope in Bordeaux in May 2012, and in Lisbon in March/April 2013.

In these three years, Entre Margens brought to the Douro:

FLÂNEUR - NEW URBAN NARRATIVES 2014/2016

Flâneur - New Urban Narratives is a network project based on an international partnership of 20 organisations from 11 different countries. Its main purpose is to carry out artistic interventions in public spaces through contemporary photography.

The Project encourages artists to create new interpretations of the urban terrain, having the concept of flâneur as a starting point and considering the physical context of the city as a social kaleidoscope in constant evolution. Besides the art projects and interventions in the public space, Flâneur is comprised of several other dimensions brought to light in workshops, masterclasses, artistic residences, creative camps and conferences – initiatives intended to foster a critical analysis of contemporary photography and contribute to a discussion about the public space as a social territory.

During its two year span, Flâneur will be represented in the 13 partner cities. The artwork is created by photographers invited to pursue artistic residences in each city, as well as local photographers, thus mixing outside and inside point of views, and it’s further complemented by the artwork produced in ateliers open to local residents. The work created in all these cities is presented in photo exhibitions in public spaces, bringing to the squares, parks and streets pieces of artwork, which would normally be enclosed in museums and galleries. It’s, at the same time, a process of deconstruction and democratisation of art enjoyment, sharing it with a heterogeneous audience. Flâneur generates a transversal overview of the different social dynamics which are the fabric of the urban territories. The peculiarity of this particular “portrait” is the fact that it’s produced by a broad and diverse group of creators, who, with a common theme, take a fresh look at the plurality of realities that define each urban space. Flâneur shares with the public these

contemporary and plural views, inviting you to engage in your own flânerie around your own city and rediscovering it.

Artistic residencies15-day artistic residency. Taking photos for the public space exhibition. The work created by the invited photographers depicts an outside view of the city.

Photography Exhibitions In The Public SpaceThe work produced in the artistic residencies is exhibited in the public space (squares, parks and other places) of the partner cities, in Flâneur’s site specific display.

Photography Masterclasses and ateliersThe Masterclasses and ateliers are aimed at new photographers and local residents of the exhibition area. They encourage the creation of photographic narratives of the city or the neighbourhood, from an insider’s point of view.

International Conference The International Conference held in Lisbon in May 2015, was a key moment of the programme. It provided a broad forum for exchanging ideas among the participants and launched the project, both at national and international level. The papers and debates are now part of an important knowledge database which will allow the Project to continually expand throughout its two year life.

The project was supported by UNESCO through the International Fund for Promotion of Culture (2015 edition), and by the European Union, through the Creative Europe Cooperation Projects of the EACEA (Audio-visual and Culture Executive Agency).
