ポルトガルはポルトで行われたForum do Futuro(フォーラム・ド・フトゥーロ)というイベントに参加。哲学者、アーティスト、建築家、パフォーマーなど、多岐にわたる現代芸術の作り手をよんで1週間に渡って市民とともに語り尽くすというもの。そのきっかけとその様子。

Forum do Futuro 2018 に参加しにポルトまで (Japanese only): materiaprima.site/forum-do-futuro-2018/

It was when I visited Porto in the summer of 2018 for holiday that I learned about the event called Forum do Futuro. I got to know about it from Guillerme, in charge of cultural affairs in Porto as well as organizer of event, and I participated in the small lecture by contemporary artist Tania Bruguera that summer.

The lecture took place on the rooftop of the city hall, where there is nothing but concrete walls and you could go out of roof to see the city view that only seagull appreciates. There were 30 participants, from students to retired, and, in short, the vibe was very good. According to Guillerme, it was only the introduction to the event, Forum do Futuro, that invites thinkers, artists and performers who share contemporary issues. It sounded like I have to go back to see what is happening. Then I got a ticket to Porto in autumn of the same year to participate it.
