Vanessa Badagliacca is a researcher in art history and an educator. She holds a Ph.D. in Contemporary Art History from NOVA University, FCSH. In 2016 she defended her thesis entitled, "Organic Materiality in 20th Century Art. Plants and (Human and Non-Human) Animals from Representation to Materialization", for which she was awarded an FCT grant. Her academic research, interacting with her curatorial practice, explores the entanglements between plant life, environmental issues and artistic practices, with an approach informed by science, ecocriticism and new materialisms, focusing mainly on the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America from a transnational perspective. Her curatorial projects include different exhibitions in Portugal and abroad. She also dedicates herself to the practice of editing and writing for exhibitions and magazines. She is currently participating as a postdoctoral researcher in the research group "DESNORTADAS. TERRITORIOS DEL GÉNERO EN LA CREACIÓN ARTÍSTICA CONTEMPORÁNEA", at the Department of Art History of Universidad de Málaga.
