Ana Temudo holds a degree in Fine Arts and a postgraduate degree in Art Studies from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Porto, as well as a Master's degree in Museology from the Faculty of Arts at the same institution. She also holds a PhD in Heritage Studies from the School of Arts at the Portuguese Catholic University's Center for Research in Science and Technology of the Arts (CITAR). She has collaborated on several interdisciplinary museum research projects at the intersection of the humanities, arts, and social sciences. She has also published in various national and international journals. Her doctoral project, 'Policies of Representation of Guinea-Bissau's Cultural Heritage in Portuguese Museums in the Transition from the Colonial to the Post-Colonial Period: Histories, Transits and Discourses”, was funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) through an individual scholarship, and she received a final grade of Summa Cum Laude. Temudo's research promotes a participatory reading of Guinea-Bissau's cultural heritage, achieved through several field trips to the country in recent years. Between September and December 2023, she was a visiting researcher on the project 'Pressing Matter: Ownership, Value, and the Question of Colonial Heritage in Museums” in the Netherlands. In 2024, she was awarded a RAC research grant to conduct research at the Rockefeller Archive Center in New York. Both activities were carried out as part of her doctoral project. In her research, she combines ethnography with the study of museum collections and historical archives. In 2025, she participated in the international MuseumLab programme, which focused on the theme of 'colonialism and resistance', involving research residencies in Berlin, London and Addis Ababa. She also coordinated a course for young cultural guides in the heritage city of Cacheu (Guinea-Bissau). Throughout 2025, she disseminated her research through scientific articles and public presentations.
