Independent projects that fit into the Biennale’s scope due to their relevance, innovation and conceptual logic, the Tangents attest to the vitality of the Portuguese creative community and Lisbon’s position as a hotbed for boundary-pushing cultural practice. This edition, EXD’11 hosts a record number of over 60 Tangents.
The number of projects that reflect or incorporate a strong feature of research or critical debate indicate the growing focus on new content generation - material and immaterial - through participatory platforms.
