What is 'How heavy is a city?'
'How heavy is a city?' is the 7th edition of the Lisbon Triennale. This question instigates a three-year research project, carried out by an ever-growing coalition, into the complex set of transformations of the city, revealing a planetary new figure in the making.
From October 02 to December 08 2025, the Lisbon Triennale 2025 includes three exhibitions — Fluxes, Spectres and Lighter —, a three-day conference series, a selection of Independent Projects, and a publication. It acts as a convener, engaging a broad team of experts from science to philosophy or the arts.
