No Endgame: Performance, Play, Recycling for Sustainable Futures

On February 5, 2026, the TRANSPER project held its first multiplier event in Lisbon, titled “No Endgame: Performance, Play, Recycling for Sustainable Futures”. The event was a roundtable discussion on how artistic practices, civic engagement, and environmental initiatives can contribute to more sustainable ways of thinking and acting.

Organized by Rui Filipe Antunes and chaired by Inês Marques, the discussion brought together perspectives from public policy, environmental action, and artistic practice. The invited speakers included Ana Rita Moreira from the Junta de Freguesia do Lumiar, Ana Matos from Electrão, and artist Gustavo Ciríaco. 

The roundtable reflected on sustainability beyond linear models of production and consumption. Through the lenses of performance, play, and recycling, participants discussed how practices grounded in reuse, repetition, and transformation can challenge the idea of an “endgame” as a final or closed outcome.

Departing from performative strategies such as games, scores, re-enactment, and repetition, the conversation explored how material, bodily, and conceptual reuse operate across artistic processes, civic responsibility, and recycling infrastructures. By foregrounding cyclical temporalities of return, adaptation, and continuity, the discussion proposed alternative ways of imagining sustainable futures rooted in care, adaptability, and shared responsibility.

Art-driven Cultural Welfare Technologies: Research and Innovation Perspectives

TRANSPER Project Hosts Second Multiplier Event in Genoa: Exploring Art-Driven Cultural Welfare Technologies

On April 17, 2026, the TRANSPER project held its second multiplier event in Genoa, titled “Art-driven Cultural Welfare Technologies: Research and Innovation Perspectives.” The event brought together experts to discuss how art-inspired technologies can foster individual and social well-being, showcasing the power of a transdisciplinary approach to designing and developing innovative solutions.

Chaired by Antonio Camurri, the discussion brought together perspectives at the intersection of science, technology, art, and the social sector. Invited speakers included Nicola Corbellini from Casa Paganini – InfoMus at the University of Genoa; Nicola Ferrari from the Department of Italian, Romance, and Classical Studies and of Arts and Performing Arts at the University of Genoa; and Sara Di Paolo, a board member of Legacoop, the main association supporting Ligurian cooperatives.

The discussion focused on cultural welfare, highlighting how art-inspired technologies can serve as powerful mediators of cultural experiences. Participants explored ways technology can act as a catalyst for cultural welfare, offering interactive platforms and enabling new forms of engagement. Barriers to adoption were also examined, including digital exclusion, dehumanizing services, information overload, algorithmic bias, and digital toxicity. The role of art, approached through a transdisciplinary lens, was emphasized as a key factor in overcoming these challenges and enhancing cultural well-being.
