Teresa Projecto (1989, she/her) is a Portuguese artist working with voice and visual mediums. She holds a PhD in Fine Arts from the University of Lisbon, with co-supervision in Philosophy from NOVA University of Lisbon, and a dissertation on the concept of the sublime and the notion of artistic representation. She teaches at IPLUSO (ECIA) and Lusófona University (ECATI). She is a researcher at the Centre for Music Studies (CESEM), where she is part of the Critical Theory and Communication Group and the Music and Interpretation Research Line, of which she is a co-founder; and at the Centre for Research and Studies in Fine Arts (CIEba), where she is part of the Visual Narratives and Hybridism Research Line and Scenic Contexts Group. Her theoretical and artistic research encompasses the relationship between aesthetics, art and politics, through art theory, philosophy, critical theory and performance studies, focusing on the notions of representation, interpretation and, recently, through the lens of decoloniality. She is the author of several translations and is currently preparing a monograph entitled ‘Painting time: chasing the sublime’ based on her doctoral dissertation. As an artist, she maintains a practice that encompasses visual arts and expanded opera performances. Especially focused on operatic repertoire and hybrid performances during her musical path, recent highlights include an artistic residence at Olga Roriz Company with the dancer and choreographer Mounir Saeed within the context of his Pina Bausch Foundation fellowship; the semi-staged recital ‘Terra de Inverno’ (2025) created with the pianist Philippe Marques around Schubert's ‘Winterreise‘ and Fernando Lopes-Graça's ‘Viagens na Minha Terra’; Mónica Calle’s Salomé (2023); a scholarship from the Fondazione Guido d’Arezzo attributed during a masterclass with Vesselina Kasarova; a Portuguese version of the immersive operetta Boys of Paradise (2024) by Vahan Salorian; the recital Serenata Andaluza (2023) for national radio Antena 2; and Cortes de Júpiter (2022) by Ricardo Neves-Neves with music by Filipe Raposo. She has also participated in workshops with Julius Drake, Aphrodite Patoulidou, Mario Cassi, Ramon Theobald, Eleonora Pacetti, Marina Viotti, John Pickering, among others. She simultaneously works as a translator and essayist, with the publishing of a translation of Nidesh Lawtoo's ‘Homo Mimeticus: Uma Teoria da Imitação’ (Sistema Solar) expected for 2026. She recently participated in a two months workshop oriented by stage director Raquel André and organized by TDNM II, where she had the opportunity to work with accessibility in the performing arts and creating with and for the communities.
