Ricardo Aleixo: Outros, o Mesmo

Abstract

In this article I explore the processes of art creation and research developed by Ricardo Aleixo in his Intermedia Lab (LIRA), focusing on the relationships between his poetry and the concept of active resistance as well as on the humanistic project to which his art subscribes. I take the poem "Outros, o mesmo" ["Others, the same"] as a point of departure to describe how resistance is constructed simultaneously in the poetry- making itself and in its connections with the other arts that comprise the technical-creative repertoire of the artist.
