Beatriz Duarte (Brazil, 1993) is an architect, urbanist, curator and researcher currently based in Porto (Portugal) where she is a doctoral candidate in Art Education, affiliated to the Institute for Research in Art, Design and Society (i2ADS-FBAUP/UPorto) with support from the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). She has a master's degree in Curating and Museology from UPorto (Portugal) and a degree in Architecture and Urbanism from UFMG (Brazil), including an exchange period at London South Bank University (CAPES scholarship, Science Without Borders). Her research focuses on curatorial projects and spatial practices that correspond with specific spaces, territories and architectures, especially contemporary heritages, such as industrial remnants, transitional and abandoned spaces. Her research seek to understand their dynamics, new uses, meanings and emerging ecologies, engaging with different methodologies to mediate and learn in/with these territories, as well as experiment with debates and questions about memory, heritage, urban transformations, and the relationships between nature and culture.
