Raquel Ermida is a researcher and educator working at the intersection of artistic practice, critical theory, and cultural policy, with a focus on feminist art practices, collective organization, and the democratic potential of artistic collaboration. She holds a PhD in Artistic Studies – Art and Mediation from NOVA FCSH, funded by the Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT). Her doctoral research examined the democratic potential generated by more than 40 artist collectives active in Porto between 1998 and 2013, using qualitative and quantitative methods, including interviews, archival research, fieldwork, and software-assisted analysis. She holds a Master’s degree in Visual Arts – Critical and Curatorial Studies of Cybermedia from the Haute École d’Arts et de Design (HEAD–Genève). She is a researcher at the Art History Institute (IHA–NOVA FCSH / IN2PAST) and a member of the Independent Research Platform and Doctoral Practice (IRPDP) in Geneva. Drawing on this experience, she co-conceived and coordinated a doctoral research platform that fostered international and intergenerational dialogue across disciplines. In 2020, she was awarded a Fulbright Program grant and conducted research at Pratt Institute, New York. In 2022, she joined the research team of the IHA seed project Confined Artistic Practices: Resistance and Collectivism in the Covid-19 Pandemic in Portugal. Her current research focuses on feminist artist collectives in Portugal and transnational feminist visual activism. She is the co-author of a chapter on the feminist collective ZOiNA in Transnational Visual Activism for Women’s Reproductive Rights (Routledge, 2025). She has published book chapters and peer-reviewed articles in international journals, including Journal of Visual Art Practice and Arte, Individuo y Sociedad. In 2023, she co-edited a special issue of Revista de História da Arte on collaboration in contemporary artistic practices and co-edited (with Paula Varanda) Por Uma Causa Maior – Arte, Cidadania e Idadismo no Envelhecimento (2025). Since 2013, she has taught Portuguese as a foreign language and has been involved in research-based collaborations with cultural institutions and grassroots initiatives, contributing to the public impact of artistic research.
