Current Issue
Farol magazine has established itself as an important instrument for the dissemination of art and culture from a perspective that is believed to resist the crushing influence of dominant discourses and that proposes new readings and new networks of knowledge. The thematic dossier of this edition, Possible Ends: Contemporary Deviations and the Artists of the Common, proposes new readings that, in their convergence, constitute a network of meanings, integrated into a new landscape and the tensions surrounding the "common" in the arts. From reflections on the term itself and its implications in contemporaneity, to expressions that evoke ways of looking; thus, producing and rethinking issues intrinsically linked to the artistic field, opening up to potential dialogues with society.
