Just over three months after the 5th edition of BoCA — Biennial of Contemporary Arts, we gathered once again to revisit some of the creations commissioned by the Biennial, through the presentation of seven mini-documentaries dedicated to works that were part of the “Camino Irreal” edition’s program.

This public session presented footage, images, and interviews conducted around the processes, contexts, and artistic universes of works that marked the last edition, extending the life of the projects beyond the moment of their first live presentation.

Documentaries were screened on:

“El Cante Rasgueado” / “Descomposición/Choro,” by Niño de Elche & Pedro G. Romero
“Coral dos Corpos sem Norte,” by Kiluanji Kia Henda
“O Julgamento Pelicot,” by Milo Rau & Servane Declè
“Adilson,” by Dino D’Santiago
“Os Rapazes da Praia Adoro,” by Alberto Cortés & João Gabriel
“13 Alfinetes,” by João Pedro Rodrigues & João Rui Guerra da Mata

BoCA invited viewers to rediscover artists, works, and behind-the-scenes moments, and to reflect on the gestures, discourses, and practices that permeated the Biennial.
