felipefonseca

This is an open topic to discuss possibilities to build the 2019 edition of Tropixel Festival in Ubatuba, Brazil.

To understand more about Ubatuba, watch for instance this video:

The central theme of Tropixel will be abundance and survival. We intend to make it happen somewhere in June.

Anyone willing to develop activities related to open biomedical research during Tropixel? Mozilla Science have an open call for minigrants, here:

Awards at Mozilla are designed to support diverse approaches to addressing the most pressing threats to Internet health. Through the Science Mini Grants awards track, Mozilla seeks to identify, support, and develop a community of leaders in the network with the aim to transform research and the culture around science to make it more accessible, transparent, and reproducible.
Thanks to the generous support of the Leona M. & Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, once again we are awarding small grants ($3,000 — $10,000 USD) for project ideas that foster innovation and ultimately lead to more robust prototypes and products by expanding and enhancing the community who are working open. For this round of mini grants, we are specifically looking for projects related to biomedical subject areas .

Bringing to this thread as well. @gisela_domschke posted in the pt-br topic:

Propostas para Tropixel 2019

Paralelo – Survival and Abundance

In 2009, Annette Wolfsberger, Bronac Ferran and Gisela Domschke co-curated “Paralelo - art, technology and the environment”, gathering 55 participants – including artists, designers, policy-makers and researchers – from three countries (Brazil, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom) to discuss different ways in which collaborations across disciplinary and cultural borders can enable research and new insights into global and local environmental issues. The event happened in São Paulo and was organised by the British Council with the partnership of the AHRC, Goldsmiths University, Royal College of Art, Mondriaan Fund and Virtueel Platform (http://paralelo.wikidot.com). Here’s the link for the publication that was done with the collaboration of the participants: https://issuu.com/gdomschke/docs/paralelo

We’re now planning to organise with Felipe a new edition under the umbrella of Tropixel in 2019, focusing on the theme of “Survival and Abundance”, as a place where practice, sharing and reflection come together. Our aim is to nurture affective modes of making, ways of resistance and education for socio-environmental innovation. Local knowledge is key for this edition, and the programme should be built around that, rather than to be institutionally shaped.

Main activities
Sessions and projects focusing on alternative education and knowledge economy/exchange:

how to foster hope, synergy, and collaboration among artists, designers, scientists, researchers and local communities (indigenous and quilombolas) to contribute to common urgent causes;

topics: food, land/housing, education, knowledge economy, alternative energy, environment.
