NEW PUBLICATION

CHAPTER BY CIAC RESEARCHERS IS PUBLISHED IN IGI GLOBAL BOOK

The chapter “Street Art, Intersectional Feminism, and Digital Media-Art: Report on the Cyberperformative Artefact ‘Make Me Up!'” by CIAC researchers Juliana Wexel e Mirian Tavares, is part of the recently published Handbook of Research on Urban Tourism, Viral Society, and the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The book is an IGI Global publication, edited by Pedro Andrade and Moisés de Lemos Martins, both from Universidade do Minho.

The chapter is dedicated to demonstrating artivist aesthetic discourses produced in converging relations between urban space, street art, intersectional feminism (gender, class, ethnicity), and digital technologies in a post-pandemic context. The research results derived from three stages: a survey of state-of-the-art study on relations between street art, feminist artivism, and digital media art; production and application of autoethnographic data in the creation of digital artistic artefact; and curatorship of video-installation. The analysis focuses on the case study of the post-digital art artefact ‘Make me up!‘, an immersive and cyberperformative experience that connects augmented reality (AR) technology, street art, Instagrammism, and Selfiecity. The digital artefact ‘Make me up!’ was launched during the “10th International Conference on Digital and Interactive Arts – ARTECH 2021: Hybrid Praxis: Art, Sustainability & Technology” in the historical city of Aveiro, Portugal.
