VOLUME 1 - SCOPIO MAGAZINE ARCHITECTURE, ART AND IMAGE | UTOPIA

The magazine scopio Architecture, Art and Image for Volume 1 had as its thematic cycle ‘Utopia’, inspired by the idea that the transformation of our society will only be possible if we have ambitious visions for the future and propose operational paths, devised in a creative and collaborative way. As Ernst Bloch argued eight decades ago in The Hope Principle, utopias offer visions of a better future and should therefore be seen as part of our reality and not thought of outside of it. In this sense, utopias are illusory images that direct us towards real possibilities and help us build a path towards social transformation.

OPEN CALL | "EXPLORING CONTEMPORARY REALITIES"
With this Open Call "Exploring Contemporary Realities", we launch the annual major theme of interest for scopio Magazine AAI – Exploring Contemporary Realities, Volume 2, and initiate a new collaboration with the project Contrast: Multidisciplinary network of artistic initiatives in Art, Architecture, Design and Photography through SCOPIO & CONTRAST International Conference.

The call will have as responsible Editors academics / artists coming from both scopio Magazine AAI and the Contrast project. This editorial team will ensure the necessary peer review work through the U. Porto OJS platform.

scopio Magazine AAI will be, in this way, the official publishing academic periodical for International Conference SCOPIO & CONTRAST and the submissions are both for the Conference and its 2nd volume in partnership with Contrast addressing the theme Exploring Contemporary Realities.
