Editorial Project as a Platform for Desires: Luiz Sérgio de Oliveira, Giovanna Alves, Sergio Xavier

Abstract

This “Revisited History” offers a reflection on the trajectory of the journal arte :lugar :cidade —a publication dedicated to artistic practices in public spaces — from its inception in 2023 through its first five issues. In conversation, Editor-in-Chief Luiz Sérgio de Oliveira and Executive Editors Giovanna Alves and Sergio Xavier discuss the behind-the-scenes aspects of editorial production, the development of the visual identity, the evaluation processes, and dissemination strategies. The conversation also highlights the publication’s collective nature and its role in university education, linking research, artistic practice, and the development of autonomy within the context of the public university.
