Formerly named ‘Public Art Circuit’, the Island Circuit expands the possibilities of a relationship between the artistic projects it hosts and the geographical and cultural specificities of its context - the island of São Miguel. In this edition of the Walk&Talk festival the circuit is developed as an artistic expedition that is led by The Decorators, and involves the artists Clementine Keith-Roach, Inês Neto Santos, Practice Architecture, Pedro Lino, Prem Sahib and Rain Wu. These artists explored different landscapes, media and sensorial dimensions to create seven site-specific projects, in different places of the island, ranging from the centre of Ponta Delgada, to the Fenais da Luz on the North Coast. As a whole, the Expedition Empathy explores immeasurable, irrational, unintelligible phenomena with the aim to reflect about our fragile and mysterious relationship with nature.
