The public and performative dimension of the Hub: exhibitions, symposia, residencies and interventions that make the research visible, debatable and experiential.

PERISCOPE | Events serves as the public stage and performative showcase of the entire Hub. It is the moment when all the other clusters —    Research, Teaching and Collective    — converge and become visible, debatable, and experiential for a wider audience.

Through exhibitions, symposia, international residencies, site-specific interventions and cultural events, PERISCOPE transforms the outcomes of its applied and speculative work into shared experiences. Here, research findings, experimental projects, theses, workshop results, and collective creations are presented not only as final products but also as living processes open to dialogue, critique, and participation.

This cluster acts as a dynamic interface between the Hub’s internal activities and the outside world, amplifying the impact of the research and enabling it to enter into conversation with institutions, cultural venues, biennials, triennials, and diverse publics. Whether through immersive installations, performative actions, public debates or temporary spatial interventions, PERISCOPE | Events turns knowledge into experience, making complex spatial questions tangible, discussable and engaging for both specialist and non-specialist audiences.

In this way, Events becomes the vibrant culmination and dissemination platform that gives full visibility to the generative work developed across all the other dimensions of PERISCOPE.
