Co-learning Score for Artistic Research #1 (2024-2025) was a year-long collective and interdisciplinary artistic research score. Rooted at the intersection of criticality and research-creation, the process offers a dynamic space where theory and practice sustain a generative dialogue. Structured as a performance score, it unfolds through biweekly encounters—
a choreography of written questions and embodied responses—between the artist-researchers of LePARC and
professor Lília Mestre. Each session invites participants to present their work as both performance and proposition.
This recursive structure incites collective inquiry, moving in spirals rather than straight lines and giving equal weight to artistic practice and critical reflection. Together, participants investigate how materials and thoughts are composed,
the performativity of sharing them, and the shifting relationship between subjectivity and collectivity.
