INET-md contributes to digital exhibition about the five senses

Cristina Fernandes, researcher at INET-md, was part of the team for the project Scenographic Culture in the Hispanic Context of the Modern Age: A Holistic Approach, funded by the Ministry of Science and Innovation, Spain (AEI/10.13039/501100011033) and hosted at the Complutense University of Madrid, the University of Málaga, and the Theatermuseum of Vienna.

One of the main outputs was the digital exhibition Five Senses – a Digital Exhibition: Sensoriality, Art, and Scenographic Culture in the Early Modern Period, which proposes new ways of understanding and experiencing art through the five senses, exploring the potential of the digital medium as a space for creation, enjoyment, and research. Cristina Fernandes coordinated the group responsible for the Sense of Hearing, which also included the art historians Susana Varela Flor (IHA, NOVA FCSH) and Giuseppina Raggi (CES, University of Coimbra). In this specific case, a script was created in order to combine sonic memories and narratives of historical, artistic, and musical events related to Spain and Portugal in the 17^th and 18^th centuries. This tour can be experienced
in two ways: (1) just listening, through a podcast available in Portuguese, Spanish, English, and German; and (2) listening accompanied by images.

Five Senses – a Digital Exhibition, curated by Carmen González-Román, Concepción Lopezosa Aparício, and Rudi Risatti, was presented on October 7^th at the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid. It is complemented by a volume of essays entitled Five Senses: Sensoriality, Art, and Scenographic Culture in the Modern Age, published by Tirant Lo Blanch and available in open access.
