Hugo Barata
Portugal
Hugo Barata is an artist, independent curator, teacher and educational and cultural mediator with a focus on anarchic criticism as a methodological approach at the intersection of artistic practice, curating and education.
His work explores painting, broadly defined, in its relationship to the archive. This exploration takes the form of film, objects, photography or installations based on the legacies of modernist art, and has explored the concept of constellation to develop creative strategies in the fields of practice-based artistic research, the curatorial as a collaborative exercise aimed at research, and informal methodologies for inclusive education.
He holds a PhD in Media Art from ULHT with a thesis on archives and contemporary art.
He has worked as a visiting artist and educational curator in institutions such as MAAT, Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, CCB/Museu Coleção Berardo, Lisbon City Council - Municipal Directorate of Culture and EGEAC, developing various social intervention projects and training courses. He is an Assistant Professor at the Universidade Lusófona de Humanidades e Tecnologias, ULHT, in the Communication Design and Applied Communication programmes, teaching Art History, Contemporary Art and Media Theory.
