Having joined the FUTURES network in 2021, this edition marks our first nomination of talents – for which we’ve decided to choose artists who can genuinely grow through the network’s activities. Equally, we believe these authors can enrich the FUTURES artistic community with their original projects and unique experiences.

‍

As Ci.CLO runs its core activities in Portugal, three of our five FUTURES talents are primarily active domestically. In line with our social, environmental and political emphases, their projects have clear socio-political contexts, rooted in multi-layered sociological and ecological narratives. The remaining nominees come from Belarus and Ukraine respectively, reflecting our efforts to support artists from European countries suffering from conflict and oppression.
