Margarida Mendes is a researcher, curator and educator, exploring the overlap between critical ecology, experimental film, sound practices and ecopedagogy. She creates transdisciplinary forums, exhibitions and experiential works where alternative modes of education and sensing practices may catalyse political imagination and restorative action. Mendes was film curator at the 11th Liverpool Biennale, and programs regular film cycles at Gulbenkian Museum; Batalha Cinema Centre; Hangar Artistic Research Centre; Galeria Zé dos Bois. In 2021 she founded Laboratório da Torre Experimental Film Lab in Porto, dedicated to analogue cinema and artistic practices, hosting workshops, screenings, and residencies. Mendes was part of the curatorial team of the 4th Porto Design Biennale; 4th Istanbul Design Biennial; and the 11th Gwangju Biennale, and has co-directed several educational platforms, such as escuelita at CA2M, The World In Which We Occur/Matter in Flux, and The Barber Shop. She holds a PhD in Philosophy by the Centre Research Architecture, Goldsmiths University of London and is a tutor in the GEO-Design Masters at Design Academy Eindhoven.
