EN: Urban Futurism: Converging Spaces and Power Dynamics

This focus tour will investigate how Luiz Roque reimagines urban landscapes as sites where historical tensions, futuristic visions, and socio-political forces converge. The tour will examine his portrayal of cities as dynamic spaces where the interplay between freedom and control , as well as public and private spheres, reflects broader struggles over power and identity. We will discuss how Roque merges modernist architecture with the interplay between dystopian and utopian elements, freedom and control, public and private spheres, creating a visual dialogue that challenges traditional views of the depicted environments. Additionally, the tour will analyze how Roque’s aesthetic in films intersects with his ceramic works.

PT: Futurismo Urbano: Espaços e dinâmicas de poder em convergência

Este tour investigará como o artista Luiz Roque reimagina paisagens urbanas como cenários onde tensões históricas, visões futuristas e forças sócio-políticas se encontram. A visita examinará sua representação das cidades como espaços dinâmicos onde a interação entre liberdade e controle, bem como esferas públicas e privadas, reflete as lutas mais amplas sobre poder e identidade. Discutiremos como Roque mescla a arquitetura modernista com a interação entre elementos distópicos e utópicos, liberdade e controle, esferas públicas e privadas, criando um diálogo visual que desafia visões tradicionais dos ambientes retratados. Além disso, a visita analisará como a estética de Roque nos filmes dialoga com suas obras em cerâmica.
