Terra Incógnita takes the idea of ​​travel and expedition to propose a transdisciplinary artistic project that merges with the island of São Miguel and its communities. Based on a challenge addressed to artists of different artistic languages ​​to think musically and performatically a specific territory, it will propose, over the course of two years, four programming moments that will implement new ways of relating to the natural, human and historical heritage of the island. At the base, a selected hiking trail to be activated with site-specific musical creations, multimedia installations and performative acts. At the end, a cycle of talks and other discussion actions that aim to provide a framework for the exchange experience proposed by the artistic residencies.

Conceived as a fundamental space for knowledge and the creation of new exploration ideas concerning the territorial space of the island of São Miguel, Terra Incógnita will also include the launch of a mobile app that will compile the creations and paths unveiled over time. A living archive, inhabited by the interactions of users, which brings the human closer to the natural, committing them to new paradigms of preservation and improvement of uninhabited territory.
