Coreia is an experimental, critical and discursive publication about the arts, based on a central relationship with dance.
This semestral journal proposes to be an independent and internationalist forum, based on issues, works and artists, concerned with promoting different formats in portuguese. Issue #8 is a special edition and dedicates a section to the writings of the contemporary dancer and choreographer Gil Mendo, who passed away in 2022. For the launch of Coreia #8, João dos Santos Martins – its editor-in-chief – will be present and there will also be a listening session/conference with artist and composer João Polido about his work Sombra de Vento (Hint of Wind), which is the source of his paper for this edition of Coreia, dwelling on matters of tradition, national identity, memory and world building via cultural practices.

João dos Santos Martins (b.1989, Santarém) has structured his artistic practices between choreography – usually co-created in collective collaboration – and dance, interpreting works by artists such as Moriah Evans, Xavier Le Roy, Eszter Salamon and Ana Rita Teodoro, among others. His interest in dance history’s genealogies, in their transmission processes and the links between practice and discourse led him to create a device for a collective mapping of dance in Portugal, called Para uma Timeline a Haver, alongside Ana Bigotte Vieira, and to found a biannual arts journal, Coreia, dedicated to artists’ writing.
Occasionally, he is also a curator.
