Curriculum Vitae

Barbara Sliwinska

Dr. Basia Sliwinska joined the Institute of Art History (IHA) of Universidade NOVA de Lisboa in 2022 as a Researcher and Editor-in-Chief of IHA’s academic journal 'Revista de História da Arte' (RHA). Under her leadership the journal was restructured to meet international standards and become recognised in indexing databases. In January 2025 she started the FCT CEEC funded project 'Arts activism for women’s reproductive rights in Portugal, Poland and Spain. Her work is situated within feminist art history, theory and practice, focusing on visual activism and arts activism within transnational global frameworks. She researches aesthetic mobilisation and activation of women's rights for social justice, women's agency and ways of visibilising her-stories. These are explored through artistic and visual practices informed by and committed to feminism and ethics of care. She works with and on contemporary artists and has a developing curatorial practice that expands her interests in collaborative and collective relationships and interdependencies in mediating voices and knowledges. Previously, Basia worked as a Senior Lecturer in Cultural and Historical Studies at the University of the Arts London, and in other UK Higher Education institutions. In 2018 she was solicited to become an Associate Research Fellow at the Valand Academy at the University of Gothenburg; in 2021 she joined the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design in Wroclaw, Poland as a Visiting Professor, and in 2022 she was selected as a Visiting Professor at the Art Academy of Latvia in Riga. In 2023 Basia was awarded the Humanities Research Centre 2023 Visiting Fellowship at College of Arts and Social Sciences, Australian National University. As an experienced doctoral supervisor (five completions) she is also regularly invited to contribute to doctoral programmes at the Royal College of Art in London and the Art Academy of Latvia in Riga. Basia is a Member of the Editorial Board of Third Text and belongs to a number of international professional Committees. Recent and forthcoming publications include: book (edited) Contemporary Transnational Feminist Visual Activism and Gender-Based Violence (forthcoming 2025; Routledge); book (edited) Transnational Visual Activism for Women¿s Reproductive Rights: My Body, My Choice (2024; Routledge); book (co-edited with Dr. Catherine Dormor) Transnational Belonging and Female Agency in the Arts (2022; Bloomsbury); book (edited) Feminist Visual Activism and the Body (2021; Routledge); chapter (co-authored with Dr. Alexandra Kokoli) 'Aftershocks and (Un)belongings: Reflecting on Home Strike', in Meskimmon, M. and Photiou, M.
