The creation of a tile covering comprises several stages, from the conception to the application. Several agents stand out during this process – commissioners, tilers, potters, painters or architects – as well as the potteries and the factories, among other elements.
These activities were not always fully understood, and there are still doubts concerning the exact role of each agent. The aim of AzLab#33 is to examine these various “authorships” and the interactions they inspired. We will favour a comprehensive approach, mindful of each work’s historical context and the specific characteristics of each period or cycle comprised in the history of the azulejo.
Subjects may include, but are not limited to the following items (with an unlimited chronological interval, spanning from the most ancient to the most recent examples):
– Theoretical approaches to the role played by the different agents;
– Concrete approaches to the role played by the different agents,
based on case studies;
– The interaction between agents during the creation of a tile covering ;
– Proposals of new authorships and new biographies of tilers, painters,
architects, etc.;
– The professional organization of the workshops, potteries, or factories;
– The status of painters, tilers and potters, as regards their professional
and social recognition.
AzLab #33 includes a brief workshop dedicated to the discussion and definition of traditional designations (tilers vs. azulejo painters, for example), whose results will contribute to an azulejo-related thesaurus currently being developed by the Azulejo Research Network.

REGISTRATION
The presentation of a paper at AzLab#33 is free of charge, but dependent on a contribution to Az Infinitum (http://redeazulejo.letras.ulisboa.pt/pesquisa-az).
In line with the Azulejo Research Network’s belief in an open and collaborative Art History, the enrollment fee was replaced by the requirement to create or complete the biographical entry of the artist presented by each lecturer, to be made available at Az Infinitum. This contribution will enrich the AzulejoReference and Indexation System, and the result will be presented during AzLab#33. The researchers whose articles have been selected will be required to fill a simple biographical form. (NOTE: The organizers will not cover travel and accommodation expenses)
