In this third episode of the series, we focus on the Portuguese participation in the Biennale. Titled Paraíso, hoje. (Paradise, today), the exhibition is curated by Paula Melâneo, Pedro Bandeira, Luca Martinucci and deputy curators Catarina Raposo and Nuno Cera. Challenging nostalgic or utopian ideas of paradise, Paraíso, hoje proposes paradise as a present and active condition—something to be reclaimed through collective responsibility, critical optimism, and dignified action. Specifically, in this episode we tune into the voices of landscape architect and deputy curator of “Paraíso, hoje.”, Catarina Raposo, Director and Chief Curator of the Canadian Centre for Architecture, Giovanna Borasi, The Architectural Review’s Editor-in-Chief Manon Mollard, and sound artist and publisher Nuno da Luz, moderated by curator, critic and communication strategist Julia Alban to discuss the concept of "paradise" in the context of environmental challenges and the importance of collective imagination in addressing these.
