The exhibition by the students of the Post-Gadruation Art Curating ENSAIOS (SOBRE A MESA): A partir da coleção do Museu de Lisboa e do Museu Bordalo Pinheiro [ESSAYS (OVER THE TABLE): From the collections of the Museum of Lisbon and the Museum of Bordalo Pinheiro] extends its public activity to a marathon of talks that tries to reflect upon the themes this show suggests: collections, cities, arts and culture.

The speakers will have 10 minutes for the presentation, thus the title Marathon, while giving some opinions based on their professional background about the aforementioned subjects. These interventions are free from any constraints other than the time, with the generic thematic alignment:

Collections, Museology and Curating
Culture and Cultural Programs
Art and Mediation
Architecture and Urban Planning
Tourism and Gentrification
Social Endeavors
Urban Memories

The Marathon will be hosted at Galeria Quadrum, 23 and 24 of September, between 3:30 p.m. to 7 p.m., with the participation of Alda Galsterer, Ana Bigotte Vieira & Ana Mira, Ana Pérez-Quiroga, André Guedes, Ângelo Compota, António Miranda, Carla Baptista, Eduardo Salavisa, Fernando Vendrell, Guilherme Gomes, Helena Barranha, Helena Botelho, Joana Pontes, Joana Simões Henriques, Joana Sousa Monteiro, José Sousa Machado, João Afonso, João Alpuim Botelho, João Biscainho, Mafalda Sebastião, Manuel Sarmento Pizarro, Marta Gonzalez, Miguel Cardoso, Nuno Centeno, Patrícia Madeira, Raquel Henriques da Silva, Rita Múrias, Rui Mendes, Susana Anágua, Susana Mendes Silva, Sílvia Câmara e Xana Nunes.
