Amanda Tavares
Postdoctoral researcher at Instituto de História da Arte, Universidade Nova de Lisboa (Portugal). Her current project, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, explores transnationality, resistance, utopias and solidarities in recent installation works by artist Zineb Sedira. She received her PhD from the University of Sheffield in 2023, and this research will soon be published in the monograph “Visualising the Mediterranean: Unlearning and Imagining through Contemporary Art” with Liverpool University Press. With experience of transdisciplinary projects, Amanda is particularly interested in how artworks can renegotiate visual tropes about migration, imperialism and interculturality, and the role of installations and multimedia art as spaces for political awareness and social engagement.
