Reframing an artist's legacy: Media Art students narratives inspired by the art of Henrique Silva

Abstract

This paper presents an experimental pedagogical and artistic project developed with students in Multimedia and Arts at Universidade Portucalense, Portugal in which students were invited to create artistic narratives inspired by the life and work of Portuguese artist Henrique Silva. The project explores the potential of (auto)biographical narratives as a transmedia and intergenerational process, positioning artistic creation as a form of reinterpretation, mediation, and continuity of legacy.
