Begoña Farré Torras completed a PhD in Art History at Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, with a thesis entitled “The Medieval in Modernism: Cathedrals, Stained Glass, and Constructive Painting in Joaquín Torres-García and in the European Avant-garde”. She is currently part of the funded research project PIM: Iberian Modernisms and the Primitivist Imaginary (PTDC/ART-HIS/29837/2017), at Instituto de História da Arte, FCSH-UNL. This follows on from a 2014-2015 funded research project, Southern Modernisms EXPL/CPC-HAT/0191/2013, in which she was a research fellow. As part of this project, she co-edited the volume Southern Modernisms: Critical Stances through Regional Appropriations and a Special Issue on the subject at RIHA Journal, a publication in which she is part of the Local Editorial Team for Portugal. Her postdoctoral research centers on 20th century mural painting, with a particular focus on its theoretical aspects and on the use of digital means for its exhibition.
