Abstract
This project was developed by four undergraduate students of Contemporary Visual Arts, a subject that is common to several degree courses at Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa.  We aim to gain an understanding of how different artistic expressions can be intertwined to produce a meaningful experience that will connect the audience to the artists. The audience will observe two young artists of Faculdade de Belas-Artes da Universidade de Lisboa painting two artworks while being accompanied by two musicians of Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa for an hour. One of the musicians will play the guitar in the first half an hour and will then be replaced by the other musician, a singer using her voice only. An important aspect of the creative process is the space for improvisation and spontaneous development that will be provided, creating a site for art to cross boundaries. The artistic production will then be followed by a discussion and interview with the artists.  This approach will provide an insight into how musical performance can influence the creative process. Questioning the creators immediately after the art piece is finished is an interesting form of engagement that we do not have the opportunity to experience very often in traditional galleries and formal cultural spaces. By choosing young artists from universities, we aim to represent ourselves – as students, locals, and as the new generation.

Bio notes

– JOÃO GAMA, 23 YEARS OLD

Born in the village of Arrepiado in the district of Santarém, he came to Lisbon to study Sculpture in Faculdade de Belas-Artes da Universidade de Lisboa, where he is now taking his master’s degree. João usually works with wood. When he paints, he uses strong colours to depict landscapes and figures. To the artist, his art is important to capture instincts and the essence of life.

– MARIA TRISTÃO, 23 YEARS OLD

Maria is a young Portuguese artist from Mira de Aire now on the last year of her degree in Painting in Faculdade de Belas-Artes da Universidade de Lisboa. Her work focuses on the representation of space with specific characteristics that allow her to create scenarios, or on the representation of images that overwhelm her with the need to paint and transform them into art.

– LUCAS CALHEIROS, 19 YEARS OLD

Lucas is from Carcavelos and is currently studying Estudos Gerais in Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa. As an artist, he plays the guitar, the bass, and sings. He is a member of Flor Girino, a band where he adapts existing themes but also writes original songs. Improvisation is re-occurring in his musical expression. Some of his inspirations are Alfredo Marceneiro, Allen Halloween, and Alice in Chains.

– MARTA AGOSTINI, 21 YEARS OLD

Marta is an Erasmus student in Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa.  She is from Trento, Italy, and is studying Anthropology. Marta chose Portugal because of its warm temperatures and culture. Besides Humanities, she is interested in music and singing. The artist expresses her individuality through musical experimentation with her voice, using vibration and instruments. Her inspiration comes from human relations, nature, and love.

Abstract: How can hip-hop reduce inequalities? Dance tackle immigration? Comedy improve mental health in the Deaf community? Environmental art in green spaces change the way we think about what it means to be well?

In this interactive talk and workshop, we’ll be diving into the thinking behind Measuring Humanity and reflecting on the power of art to challenge policy makers and academics to reassess what counts as evidence when developing policies, practices, and recommendations.

In particular, we’ll be discussing a hip-hop video featuring rapping written using co-produced data from marginalised community members, health and voluntary sector practitioners, and researchers. Dear Human highlights the lived experiences of these communities and questions the nature of evidence in public health.

We’ll then apply this methodological and theoretical approach to art work. Please bring examples of (any form of) art if you’re creating your own art, or examples of artwork that you’re inspired by.

Re-transforming, rethinking and redesigning the world’s food systems, making them more inclusive, equitable and sustainable may seem like an insurmountable challenge. But there are actually concrete actions that designers can take. The FORK Organization proved it with the 1^st World Food Design DAY 2021. A 20-hour virtual journey through the world, to discover how design is activating a change in the agri-food sector. On the occasion of the UN 2021 World Food Day, The FORK Organization launched its first day on food design. The time has come to reflect on the future that we must build together:

We can all learn from food by working with food?
What can you do as a designer?
What can governments, industries, supranational organizations do?
What can the private and public sectors do?
What can farmers, producers, distributors, restaurateurs do?
What can academia, research, science do?
What can civil society do?
And what real contribution designers can make?

This is the big theme of the EFOOD2022 conference. A theme that wants to be treated from a scientific and academic point of view, but to make a contribution even outside of schools and universities. A way to make people understand, once again, the potential of design in innovation and preservation of the Planet. There are 800 million people suffering from hunger and at the same time high rates of obesity. Healthy, nutritious diets are expensive, yet many producers are poor. Current practices are not good for the environment. It is clear that we need a revolution. A revolution so radical as to completely overturn the previous versions of our food systems. Transforming food systems for prosperity, making innovations available and accessible technologies to tackle the problems and issues related to climate change, encouraging sustainable food and design techniques, with a great impact on people’s lives.

The organizing institutions of the 3_^rd International Food Design and Food Studies Conference, Experiencing and Envisioning Food: Designing for Change, invite professors, MA and PhD students, researchers, chefs, professionals and designers from all scientific areas to submit unpublished articles or projects for presentation at the 3^rd International Food Design and Food Studies Conference, Experiencing and Envisioning Food: Designing for Change. The conference emerges as a forum where academics and experts collaborate in an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary way on the current food system and its food. Like the first and second conferences, it is intended to be a meeting between the world of design and food with other scientific areas.

The 3^rd International Food Design and Food Studies Conference, Experiencing and Envisioning Food: Designing for Change, seeks to explore potential solutions to current problems of the food system and scenarios on the future of food and nutrition. The fundamental objective of the conference is to generate value for our food and the design as a research and work methodology. This important goal can only be achieved if specific steps are taken if we carry out essential tasks. If to define a goal, it is necessary to emphasize the benefits and reasons for this. To achieve it, it is instead necessary to focus on a specific and positive process. For this reason, the word envisioning, as the ability to plan the present and activate change, having a holistic and systemic approach, looking towards the future. It is also intended that academics interact with the industry, and the proposed format facilitates collaboration between diverse scientific domains.

We are opening the call for articles on the following topics:

Design for Sustainability and Agenda 2030
Design for Social Innovation
Design for Food Design Education
Design for Policies and Communities
Design for Nutrition and Health
Design for Gastro-wine Tourism
Design for Gastronomy
