InterStruct Talks To:…! The Podcast for an intercultural dialogue within the context of Porto.
This week we were happy to speak to Celia Lóstrego, who is a ceramic and porcelain jewelry designer. She graduated in Oriental Studies – Sanscrit and Indian culture in Vilnius, Lithuania before starting her path in artistic ceramics at Cadiz Art School in Spain. Since 2016 she has lived in Porto where she also guides workshops, in which she shares her knowledge about ceramic creations while talking about her travels – Still inspired by her project that lasted for two years “Ceramistic on the road”, where she hitchhiked from Romania to the Middle East and South East Asia, creating new collections in each country and sharing knowledge with local, both traditional and contemporary ceramic artists at their studios and wrote about these experiences afterwards.
Just like many other areas of culture, the contemporary art scene is still a male dominated area. While women practitioners have traditionally been represented within images, there is still a low representation within the construction of these. This first five-part series InterStruct Talks to:Women Artists promotes the dialogue of 5 different creatives of Porto. With this series we want to recognize diverse women artists and their contributions to the art scene of Porto. These dialogues reflect on diversity not only with our discussions on the creative processes, but also with the different social and cultural context to which this work is being made.
