"(...) it does not seem as if I have been outlining the essential features of an Art Biennial, but of a socio-ecological project of participatory regeneration through arts and culture, and I truly believe that this is what Walk&Talk intends as a Biennial. If, initially, as a festival, most of the interventions were geared towards the city walls (and the walls of the museum and gallery), today, as the road to the Biennial is built, the relationship with the territory has grown more rooted, engaged and involved. In other words, the curatorial proposal is withdrawing from material exclusiveness to embrace a set of artistic-cultural, inter-relational exercises between the different agencies that make up the Azorean identities."
