VISUAL ARCHIVE
The visual archive comprises all works organised chronologically, spanning research-led projects, installations, and embedded practice developed across art, design, and ecological inquiry.
Working across art, design, and environmental research, Inês Barros develops ecological prostheses, speculative devices positioning artistic practice as ecological gesture. These wearable and site-responsive artworks explore more-than-human ecological interfaces through material experimentation and field-based work. Following an interdisciplinary principle, Inês often collaborates with practitioners from diverse fields (performers, scientists, designers).
Her background includes collaborations with Office for Political Innovation, KWY, and Superflex, informed by training in architecture, design, and art. She recently participated in the Institute for Postnatural Studies 2025 program, conducted fieldwork with Tiny Farm Lab, and contributed research on embodied destituent power. Recent presentations include Braga 25, Radio Relativa, SLA Festival, Gentler Future's Festival, and Galeria Zé dos Bois.
