The Call for Papers for the Summer School on Disobedience (June 29 – July 3, 2026) is out!
XVI Lisbon Summer School for the Study of Culture is organized in collaboration with Porto Summer School on Art & Cinema and in connection with Disobedience Archive, a curatorial project by Marco Scotini, which will present an iteration of the exhibition at the Amélia de Mello Foundation Gallery in Lisbon, with the collaboration of Ângela Ferreira.
The Summer School consists of keynote lectures, workshops, master classes, paper and poster presentations, as well as cultural programming, such as film screenings. Disobedience will be explored as an artistic practice and an idea, considering its multiple forms, dynamics, and limits. Through the focus on both macro and micro acts of refusal and dissent, as well as the visible and invisible tactics used to undermine oppressive systems or disrupt established orders, the Summer School frames disobedience as a transformative and creative act.
Invited speakers include Marco Scotini, Ângela Ferreira, Sergei Loznitsa, Ato Quayson (University of Stanford) and Markus Messling (CURE, Saarland University) – more to be confirmed.
