Umbigo is a well-established quarterly arts and culture journal from Portugal. Issues contain essays, interviews, special art projects and collaborations and much more and the covers are specially designed for the magazine.
From the publisher:
"Dedicated to the theme of Celebratory Practices, Umbigo #90 is an edition that explores the fields of dance, clubs, raves, performance, ancestry and celebration. On the back, a special edition subordinated to the Porto Santo School, in close collaboration with PORTA 33, which establishes a link between art, pedagogy, ecology, community and architecture.
The covers were created by Tianzhuo Chen, Carla Filipe – also the artist of Interchanges Project (FLAD) At night, no archive – and, in the special edition, Duarte Belo.
The exhibition Rituals Reimagined: Global Perspectives on Spirituality in Contemporary Art, curated by Safia Dickersbach, is an incursion into rituals, traditional practices and their complex connection with contemporary cultures. An attentive follower of the art scene of the Global South, and as editor and founder of PRŌTOCOLLUM magazine, Dickersbach highlights how artists from this region “challenge the Western dichotomy between the sacred and the secular, the rational and the intuitive”."
