Hello! I'm João Pedro Schwingel Carada, a PhD candidate in Contemporary Art at the School of Arts, University of Coimbra, where I explore body, space, and performance. My practice sits at the intersection of performance art, installation, and community-engaged art, rooted in a background in music and sound. I’m interested in how bodies move through spaces, how communities co-create meaning, and how philosophy and anthropology of performance can illuminate contemporary art making. Beyond academia, I work as a performer, facilitator, and project manager, with experience coordinating cultural projects, teaching and producing performances. I value collaboration, curiosity, and accessible art-making that invites audiences to participate and reflect.…Hello!
