Queer Art: Gender and Sexuality

With Alice Geirinhas

Type: Workshop & Creative Engagement

Queer Art: gender and sexuality takes the artist’s works as a starting point to address themes and artists from an intersectional feminist perspective: the manifesto, collectivism, activism, and the relationship between artistic practices and everyday life that ran through the twentieth century and continue strongly into the twenty-first. The works to be discussed are Assemblage: as três Marias (2010), Movimento de Libertação da Mulher (2024), As ancas devagar as pernas lentas, Poemas (2025), and Sycorax (2026).

Alice Geirinhas is a visual artist. In her research and practice — spanning drawing, illustration, installation, video and performance — she explores feminist territories and questions constructions of identity, sexuality and gender equality. Born in Évora, she lives and works in Lisbon. She graduated in Fine Arts – Sculpture from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon (1984–1989). She later completed a Master’s in Contemporary Artistic Practices at the same institution (2007–2009), and earned a PhD in Contemporary Art at the Colégio das Artes of the University of Coimbra (2010–2013), with the thesis Como Eu Sou Assim, mapeamento visual na primeira pessoa: documento e índice, supervised by António Olaio and Carlos Vidal. She has exhibited regularly since the 1980s, developing a body of work in which artistic gesture intersects with critical reflection and lived experience.
