LIVING NARRATIVES OF SÃO BERNARDO: CURATORIAL CLUES

SerformanceP 2025 sprouts in São Bernardo do Campo as one leans over a city in dispute. Not

only the visible clash of political, economic or urban interests is at stake here—but also one that

unfolds on the symbolic plane: who narrates this city? From where do the images that represent

it speak? Which voices are heard, and which are silenced?

To better understand the territory it inhabits, the festival drew on a methodology developed by

researcher I. Trabuco (USP)—originally applied to Largo do Arouche—and adapted it to the

complex urban and social fabric of São Bernardo. The study—combining digital platforms,

institutional/real-estate marketing and critical production—helped identify four macro-

narratives that structure the competing meanings of the city.
