TRANSDISCIPLINARY CENOGRAPHY LABORATORY (LTC): RE-DESIGNING THE EXHIBITION OF BRAZILIAN STUDENTS IN PQ15

Abstract

The Stage Design Transdisciplinary Laboratory (LTC in Portuguese) was conceived and founded at the University of Brasilia (UnB) in 2010 by professor Dr. Sônia Paiva, to attend the 2011 Prague Quadrennial - PQ11. LTC is a laboratory based on four pillars: Transdisciplinarity, Diversity, Collaboration and Creative Economy. The concept was inspired with the understanding of need to dismantle the university disciplinary structure, to connect producers, thinkers, technicians, scientists and artists in the realization of innovative projects that can trigger cultural, social, political and human transformations. The result is a collaborative, multicultural look that is shared in Scene Design. The curatorship of the Brazilian Students of Scene Drawing at the Prague Quadrennial 2015 marked the LTC's methodology. The exhibition, presented in PQ15, condensed a collaborative work with the Brazilian scenography teachers centers and explained how each state and school operate their creative processes. Thus, our exhibition space presented the Brazilian cultural diversity in Prague; reminds us of a cabin - which could be anywhere, in a changing state - and invited us to experience our students' imaginative spaces, prompting visitors to dream of other territories in a more attentive and participatory approach.
