Facebook Live talk with Fernanda Eugénio and Gustavo Ciríaco
Fernanda Eugénio and Gustavo Ciríaco are two Brazilian artists based in Lisbon, with backgrounds in dance, anthropology, and site-specific projects. Collaborating since 2009, the artists have been traveling through different cities in South America, Europe and Asia with the nomadic and relational structure of City Labs, putting in conversation the protocols of Ethnography as Situated Performance, by Eugenio, with the contextual creation procedures, which Ciríaco uses in the construction of his immersive and pieces. Both have a trajectory marked by works and researches around the public space. In 2015, they started the project Steaming Cities in New York, hosted by the Hemispheric Institute for Performance and Politics/New York University and in San Art Gallery, in Saigon.
