- Alguns caminhos e deslocamentos perceptivos: Brasil – América – EuropaPublication . Nascimento, Adriana; Carvalho, Isabel Cristina; CarvalhoA junção do debate sobre os caminhos como elementos estruturadores da relação entre o espaço público e o privado com o debate feminista orienta os encaminhamentos e desdobramentos desta produção artística. Os trabalhos aqui apresentados resultaram em pesquisa artístico-científica e de processos criativos e artísticos produzidos colaborativa e internacionalmente. O projeto submetido ao edital de Criação e Circulação Artística da Pró-Reitoria de Extensão e Cultural da Universidade de São João Del-Rei, em seus veículos com a pesquisa e a extensão é que intitula o livro. É importante mencionar que o projeto contou com financiamentos tanto do Brasil, quanto de Portugal, por meio do grupo de pesquisa A.T.A.-UFSJ na junção e articulação entre objetos de pesquisa. As importantes colaborações entre projetos parceiros, têm em “Gender in Map – Women Empowerment in Planning and Urban Development”, realizado no Centro de Investigação em Arte e Comunicação (CIAC), seu lastro português. Algumas perguntas a respeito da relação histórica entre Brasil e Portugal, feitas no projeto, dizem respeito sobretudo ao modo como Portugal tem lidado com a historiografia dos caminhos.
- Critical spatial thinking in women's resilience for an inclusive cityPublication . Carvalho, Isabel CristinaGender continues to affect how urban spaces are perceived and experienced. Girls and women continue to experience sexual harassment, feel unsafe and conditioned as they live and move in urban environments. Reinforcing the concept "Right to the City" of Henri Lefebvre (1991) and David Harvey (2008), this paper aims to explore the need to promote critical spatial thinking to demystify gender stereotypes, leading to the exercise of active citizenship, able to participate and contribute to the (re)design of an inclusive city. People are social products whose values and beliefs are shaped by society, often perpetuating social practices and norms that promote gender inequalities. It is crucial to enable and encourage critical spatial thinking about women's environment to understand and recognise existing limitations and constraints. The desire for change begins with awareness of the situation in which we live. Several authors refer to critical thinking as fundamental to the empowerment process, pointing out that by exercising critical reflection on the situation, women challenge gender inequality. The exercise of critical spatial thinking also highlights the need for new communication processes that recognise and enhance the importance of showing and share individual perspectives in the use of urban spaces. It will enrich a more active collective voice, increase civic participation necessary to build safer and gender-equal spaces in urban life.
- Digital counter-narratives for inclusive spacesPublication . Carvalho, Isabel CristinaMany cities still reflect patriarchal logics that perpetuate gender inequalities in everyday socio-spatial appropriation and practices. These practices do not align with what is necessary to achieve the United Nations Agenda’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), pointing to the need to identify and address the conditions that limit inclusive urban experiences. This study explores the role of digital counter-narratives in identifying and challenging gendered power dynamics within urban spaces. The main objective is to investigate how digital activism and feminist counter-narratives challenge patriarchal spatial appropriations influenced by misogynistic norms, ultimately promoting more inclusive and equitable spaces. The theoretical discussion explores how digital counter-narratives challenge the exclusionary dynamics of urban spaces, crossing urban studies, gender studies, and digital activism. The research employs qualitative case study approaches to analyse two feminist activist movements, “Girls at Dhaba’s” and “Chalk Back,” and their potential to promote critical analysis of spatial experiences to deconstruct norms that perpetuate the exclusion and harassment of women in public spaces. Both projects operate locally and use images and social networks to document as a form of resistance and resilience. The reflections point to counter-narratives as a way of documenting lived experiences and facilitating new forms of participation and expression of territorial citizenship in dialogue with digital citizenship in demanding an inclusive city. This study offers new perspectives on the contribution of digital counter-narratives to research and the production of situated knowledge for inclusive urban spaces, and the need for more studies on feminist research methodologies at the intersection of technology and activism.
- Digital media and feminist activism: reclaiming inclusive urban spaces in the post-digital eraPublication . Carvalho, Isabel Cristina; Carvalho, Isabel Cristina; Viegas, Sílvia Leiria; Nascimento, Adriana; Egler, Tamara Tania CohenThis article examines the role of digital media in urban feminist activism, highlighting how activists utilize digital platforms to challenge patriarchal norms and practices, promote gender equality, and foster inclusive spaces for marginalised voices in urban contexts. At the intersection of feminism, technology, and urban development, this study aims to understand how digital media can contribute to identifying exclusionary practices and disparities while advocating the promotion of inclusive urban spaces that reflect the diverse needs and experiences of citizens, with a particular focus on women. This study adopts an interdisciplinary approach to explore the use of digital media for various types of mobilisation and support networks. It is based on a theoretical framework that addresses themes of digital citizenship, feminism, and urban studies, contextualised in various projects and digital initiatives of feminist activists. Examples of digital activism, such as the #NiUnaMenos, #MeToo, and “Woman, Life, Freedom” movements, are presented to demonstrate the reach of digital platforms in raising awareness, mobilising collective action, and pushing for social and legislative change. “Free to Be” and “Her City Toolbox” are presented as examples of how digital tools for collaborative digital mapping can collect data, empower participants and inform decision-making processes to create inclusive urban spaces. The final notes underscore the significance of digital empowerment in expanding opportunities to identify and address systemic barriers, exploring various forms of communication, and promoting active participation in urban processes, ultimately envisioning the co-creation of cities that value diversity, equity, and accessibility.
- Digital narratives & urban artivist networks: a theoretical-methodological approachPublication . Carvalho, Isabel Cristina; Viegas, Sílvia LeiriaThis article explores the disciplinary and thematic convergences of digital media art, urban life and social activism (in the digital plan), merging into a cohesive exploration of digital narratives and their role in supporting and boosting urban artivist networks. In fact, digital tools provide unique opportunities to broaden the scope and impact of socially-engaged art, primarily through artivist practices, while highlighting and emphasising inspiring existences and positions concerning urban rights and building citizenship. As such, in this exploratory essay, we seek to stress the importance of building counter-narratives from the grassroots based on ways of life, habits, customs and everyday experiences historically overlooked by dominant systems while at the same time building theoretical-methodological framework to deconstruct urban strategies and practices and support different forms of self-representation. We will use two complementary dimensions to build our approach: (1) collecting, interpreting and processing data and (2) giving visibility to the referred alternative narratives. Regarding urban processes and physical spaces, these dimensions follow Lefebvre’s structural thinking on the production of social space and the right to the city, pointing out activist methodologies, e.g. those following principles of social justice, human rights, inclusion and equity, among others giving voice and space to the vulnerable individuals and communities.

- Feminist reflections on digital media art and urban studies for inclusive citiesPublication . Carvalho, Isabel CristinaThis article critically examines the intersection of digital media art and urban studies through a feminist lens to co-create more inclusive cities. It focuses on the potential of digital art practices to stimulate women's active engagement in the critical analysis of urban space, thereby supporting participatory urban design. It highlights the opportunities offered by digital media art practices and how they can address the challenges women face on a daily basis, empowering them to express, create and collaborate freely. The study underscores how digital media art practices can counteract daily challenges faced by women, enabling them to express themselves, create, and collaborate freely. It stresses the significance of artistic practices that inspire critical spatial thinking, inciting women to recognise, challenge, and query restrictive social norms in public spaces. As the digital gender gap is one of the main obstacles to women's participation in the digital plan, we point out examples that simultaneously develop urban interventions for women's empowerment and promote digital literacy. Collaborative and participatory artistic interventions are highlighted, which develop mappings of urban experiences, often invisibilised, showing the importance of data visualisation by gender. The main theories and practices that emphasise the inclusion of gender perspectives in the configuration of cities and a reflection on digital media art interventions within and in urban space are presented. Digital media art, when integrated into feminist urban studies, shows potentiality for the identification of weaknesses and co-creation of solutions and innovations for contemporary urban challenges.
- The plasticity of generative artificial intelligence in materialized artistic practice: case study ‘in/visibilidades no feminine 2.0’Publication . Palma, Célia Fernandes; Carvalho, Isabel Cristina; Tavares, Mirian; Olivero, Lucas FabianThis article offers a critical examination of the convergence between art and technology, exploring how the generative plasticity of Artificial Intelligence reconfigures emerging artistic practices. It analyses the transformations introduced by Generative Artificial Intelligence, which metamorphoses modes of expression, production, and authorship while simultaneously enabling the subversion of hegemonic narratives and the emergence of new digital aesthetics. The analysis focuses on the materialisation of artistic artefacts through generative processes, with particular emphasis on the case study in/visibilidades no feminino 2.0, an experimental project that employs GenAI as a device for the symbolic recomposition of female identity, supported by ethnographic imagery and critical mediation strategies. The results demonstrate that GenAI can operate as an agent of co-authorship and interdisciplinary collaboration, fostering the reinscription of gendered subjectivities and opening space for new forms of representativity in contemporary art. Informed by Donna Haraway’s posthumanist perspective [1], this reflection problematises the relations between technology, hybridity, and identity construction, highlighting generative plasticity as a field of aesthetic experimentation and sociocultural transformation.
- Speciesism | Ageism | RacismPublication . Veiga, Pedro Alves daSpeciesism | Ageism | Racism (SAR) is a generative cinematic artwork stemming from the millennia-old practice of mask making and laying claim to the fundamental richness of diversity. SAR generates sequences of masks from photos of people and animals without bias, imbued meaning or particular intent, leaving all interpretations and assumptions to the audience. SAR is aesthetically rooted in traditional folklore and the worldwide popular art of mask-making, in the concepts of “loop” and metric montage. Conceptually, SAR thrives in the intersectionality of postcolonial theory, feminist and anti-discrimination studies, as well as animal rights movements, policies and practices. By stripping away the ability to consistently identify species, age, race, gender or sexual orientation, the artwork allows for a disruptive aesthetic appreciation, which confronts the ideology and politics of group superiority. SAR delivers a participatory, hypnotic, rhythmic and generative audio-visual experience, charged with an anti-discriminatory message countering speciesism, ageism and racism.

- Subversão emergente na prática artística: in/visibilidades no femininoPublication . Palma, Célia; Carvalho, Isabel Cristina; Tavares, Mirian; Andrés, Gema Pastor; Romero, Diana Fernández; Vela, Silvia Magro; Costa, Susana; Martins, Ana Filipa; Dourado, PatríciaO artigo explora o impacto da Média-Arte Digital (MAD), como ferramenta para fomentar a refle-xão das normas de género associadas à identidade feminina, a partir da análise do processo criativo resultante do projeto autoral, que procura, através da prática artística interdisciplinar, com base no Artivismo, evidenciar o empoderamento feminino nas narrativas históricas. O estudo apresenta o processo criativo do artefacto artístico in/visibi-lidades no feminino 1.0, desenvolvido segundo o método a/r/cográfico, sustentado na etnografia e na abordagem metodológica qualitativa. A prática experimental envolve a convergência tecnológica da Inteligência Artificial Generativa (GenAI) na criação imagética e interativa, como mediação arti-vista, que promove uma relação ativa com a inter-face, permitindo ao público participar enquanto regista as perceções, identificadas como subversão da narrativa, na tentativa de promover a visibili-dade e o empoderamento da identidade feminina. Alinha-se com os princípios da Agenda 2030 da Organização das Nações Unidas e da iniciativa New European Bauhaus, na procura de práticas emergentes de expressão comprometidas com os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável, na promoção da igualdade de género.
