Arquivos e Processos [Archives and Processes] gathers artists that integrate Biennial’s program to discuss the interference and participation of archives, collections, and memories in dance’s creation and practices. 

The artists are invited to articulate the theme with their research processes, bringing to light several forms of conveying knowledge, both in learning techniques and the contribution for the choreography works’ creation.
