The fourth edition of the Territory series brings us a magazine and an exhibition. Created by Frederico Duarte and Vera Sacchetti – art critics and design curators – Fazer seeks to define the reach of contemporary design through the voices of those who shape it, letting a wider audience in on how design affects the momentous social change we are going through.

Shown first at Fidelidade Arte, in Lisbon, then Culturgest Porto, Território is an experience in curatorship as editorship, and vice versa. Once the artifacts evoked in each issue of the magazine are displayed at the gallery, the gallery becomes as much a vehicle for a discourse as it is for the exhibition. Related public programming will offer critical perspectives on recent results in the design field. Each exhibition concludes with the release of the printed magazine.
