During this lecture, Filipa Ramos will present the 8th Biennale Gherdeina (2022), which will function as a case-study to debate forms of curating and commissioning time-based media in non-urban contexts and of addressing concrete environmental concerns, namely the recognition and promotion of the rights of nature.

Speaker Bio: Lisbon-born Filipa Ramos researches how culture addresses ecology, attending to how contemporary art fosters relationships between nature and technology. She is Director of the Contemporary Art Department of the city of Porto. Furthermore, she is curator of the Art Basel Film sector and a founding curator of the online artists’ cinema Vdrome. Ongoing and upcoming projects include the arts, humanities and science festival The Shape of a Circle in the Mind of a Fish (since 2018) and “Persones Persons”, the 8th Biennale Gherdëina (2022), both with Lucia Pietroiusti. In 2021, she co-curated both “Bodies of Water”, the 13th Shanghai Biennale and the group exhibition “Feet of Clay” at Porto’s City Gallery. Ramos has extensive experience as an editor and publisher. She was Editor-in-Chief of art-agenda/e-flux (2013-20), Associate Editor of Manifesta Journal (2009-11) and contributed for Documenta 13 (2012) and 14 (2017). She authored Lost and Found (Silvana Editoriale, 2009) and edited Animals (Whitechapel Gallery/MIT Press, 2016).
