InterStruct Talks to: Melissa Rodrigues Talks to Women Artists

    • ビジュアルアート

Welcome to the first series of our podcast InterStruct Talks To…! The Podcast for intercultural dialogue within the context of Porto.

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 5-part series InterStruct Talks to: Women Artists aims to bring together 5 different artists. We invite a range of creatives from visual art practices to performance and literary based art forms. 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.

To initiate this series, we were fortunate to speak to Melissa Rodrigues who is a researcher in the areas of Anthropology and Performance, she currently works as an artistic educator at Serralves and Centro Internacional das Artes José de Guimarães (CIAJG). Graduated in Anthropology from Universidade Nova de Lisboa and gained a Masters degree in Contemporary Dance / Performing Arts and Performance at FBAUP. Melissa takes an active role in anti-racist activist, feminist campaigns such as “Chá das Pretas” and Núcleo Anti-Racista do Porto.
