biography

Andreia Fernandes

Andreia Fernandes (born 2000, Leiria) holds a Bachelor’s degree in Art Studies with a minor in Art History (University of Coimbra) and a Master’s degree in Artistic Intervention and Animation (Leiria Polytechnic). Having shown an aptitude for languages and literature from an early age, she gradually developed an interest in other artistic languages. Between 2020 and 2024, she took part in various projects, often in collaboration with others, including ‘Elon Musk’s Great Museum of Consciousness’ and ‘David Lynch, Wild Soul’, as well as playing cross-disciplinary roles in small-scale independent productions. She has a particular fondness for theory and research, which led to the publication of an article in ‘Stylo – Journal of Artistic Studies’ and her participation as a speaker at the 2nd Scientific Initiation Conference (FLUC) and the 4th International Conference on Emotions, Arts and Intervention (ESECS-IPL). Her interest in the role of the arts in society led her to turn her attention to the field of education, to which she has devoted herself exclusively in recent years.
