- Shadows and lights in the city: crisis effects in Arts and CulturePublication . André, Isabel; Gabriel, Leandro; Estevens, AnaResumo da comunicação realizada no âmbito do Projeto ÁGORA - Encontros entre a Cidade e as Artes: Explorando Novas Urbanidades (PTDC/ATPGEO/3208/2014).
- Urban living labs: cultural scenes, the arts, and artists as levers of new urbanitiesPublication . Matos, Filipe; Gabriel, Leandro; Estevens, AnaProject ÁGORA - Encontros entre a cidade e as artes: Explorando novas urbanidades (PTDC/ATPGEO/3208/2014). In the context of action research, Urban Living Labs are proving to be particularly relevant in terms of encouraging reflection and debate in regards to urban spatial problems and their transformation, especially in relation to allowing experiences involving the various actors and agents present in certain places. This article discusses the framework of the research, including the role which the Arts and artists themselves play in the transformation of the city, in order to find alternatives to the dominant models. We define the concept of the artistic and cultural scene (a mix of one place and a whole network, characterized by critical thinking, the effervescence/disquiet and energy), where will be located the Urban Living Lab. This reflection is geographically located in the city of Lisbon, Portugal.

- The music performance in segregated spaces: the case of Lisbon, PortugalPublication . Estevens, Ana; Pereira, Sónia; Gabriel, LeandroThe contribution of arts for the transformation of the city is the result of a tension between domination and resistance, in which the former is linked to commodification and to cities’ competition and the latter to the reflexive, critical and disruptive impulses that seem to be intrinsic to a wide array of contemporary art expressions. Hence, it becomes relevant to grasp up to what extent artistic dynamics are connected to quarrels between the forces of the market, political powers and the refusal of the neoliberal model. We would like to focus our analysis in a Southern European metropolis: Lisbon and in the particular case of migrants. Migrants are often economic but also culturally and spatially segregated in the cities where they live, where market models have tended to be dominant and shape artistic spaces. Migrants resist by drawing on origin countries’ cultural heritages and references. Music has been a key artistic expression in this process, used both to recreate and remind the culture of the past and the place where she/he came from and to affirm her/his identity in societies where they are or feel marginalized. It has also been appropriated in some cases by cities wishing to promote interculturality and multicultural environments. We develop the idea of Borja (2011) about the importance of valuing original or reconstructed identity elements in urban collectives, feelings of belonging, sense of places and collective memories in Cova da Moura (Portugal) and contrast it with appropriations made by the dominant city model.
