About

Felipa Almeida, Lisbon, 1979

The essence of my work is the research I do about objects, material culture, traditions and history of art and crafts, transposing them into projects that celebrate Portuguese culture.

I do curatorial work, art direction, and commission pieces by artists and artisans through close collaborations. Since 2023 I have also published books on art and crafts made in Portugal.

Twice a year I organise pop-up exhibitions in my studio where I challenge artists to create works inspired by a specific theme.

I studied Art History, Curatorial Studies, and History of Design. After living and working abroad for several years, I returned to Portugal in 2006. All these influences are present in the work I do in my studio in Lisbon.

If you’d like to visit the studio or learn more about what I do, drop me a message.
