Salomé Lamas

Salomé Lamas studied cinema in Lisbon and Prague, visual arts in Amsterdam and has a PhD in contemporary art from Coimbra University. Her work focuses on the relationship between narratives, memories and history in order to address the often invisibilized colonial violence. To do so, she produces exhibitions, films, videos and sound installations. Rather than conventionally dwelling in the periphery between cinema and the visual arts, fiction and non-fiction, Lamas has been attempting to make these languages its own, treading new paths in form and content, challenging the conventional methods of production, modes of exhibition and the lines between various filmic and artistic forms of aesthetic expression.
