Experimental writing has been practiced through the relationship between written, concrete and visual poetry and the plastic, sound and performing arts, following an attitude of permanent tension in relation to canonical normalization, and therefore has a differentiating character in artistic languages. This action challenges a group of authors to cross their works in public involving various forms of poetic expression.

EXPERIMENTUS – Linha Clara.

With the participation of Almandrade, António Carlos Couvinha, António Gomez, Feliciano de Mira, Ilda Teresa Castro, João Espanca Bacelar, Marco Franco, Paulo Bruscky, Pedro Fazenda,

Traveling through the process of creation we will contribute to the techniques, supports and processes of the authors of the experimental writings, integrated in their cultural and social means of reference. We will also try to consider the contributions that experimentalism brings to the renewal of artistic expression, its values and messages, and the perception that society in general has of these vanguards.
