Contribution from portugal
“ Diversity, multiplicity, inexact and diffuse contours, and therefore vitality and creativity. The stability and the enduring of the difference, of the mixture,the calm wisdom with the experience of the fusing, conflicts, overlappings advances and redraws, repetitions, conquests, victories and defeats and again, the new, to be born, to reborn, renewing, re-editing, the revolt and the censorship, the tyranny and the rupture. The territories of the ones who are and the one who passes, of who stays and who moves and blends, the multiple and cut geography, the constant succeed of powers and empires and therefore the absence in the need for the whole to acknowledges, despite the deaf feeling the share of the same similarities and proximities. The European individual carries in itself, in its matrix, a deep sense of its history and of its deposited layers in a rhythmic register of memories, more or less accurate or blurred, but present in a heroic and beloved imaginary that blooms here and there in a dimension of pride for belonging in an almost infinity of particular and collective inheritances. The land keeps the scars of the moments, in the same way that sinks the past into a prolonged oblivion, but the intensity of its occupation and the saturation of its renovation, makes us feel that underneath our steps may rest other heartbeats. ”
