Matilde Outeiro

Matilde Outeiro is a curator, researcher and project manager who focuses on the construction of counter-hegemonic narratives. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Art History and Comparative Literature from the University of Lisbon (2018).

Since settling in Germany, Matilde Outeiro has dedicated herself to managing and conceptualizing both institutional and independent artistic projects. She holds the post of producer and communications manager at the studio of internationally acclaimed artist Grada Kilomba, where she coordinated several artistic projects, among them the large-scale installation and performance O Barco | The Boat exhibited at Instituto Inhotim, Brazil (2023/2024), Somerset House (2022) and Kunsthalle Baden-Baden (2022,) among others. In 2022, she was appointed to the post of curatorial assistant of the 35^th Biennial of São Paulo, entitled Choreographies of the Impossible.

In her practice, Outeiro continually reflects on the political and ethical responsibilities of artistic agents, such as curators, critics and cultural institutions, to rethink conventional methodologies, also proposing experimental formats designed to redistribute resources and power. Profoundly influenced by intersectional radical feminism and decolonial theory, her curatorial research examines myth-making as a strategy of resistance, fostering alternative epistemologies for reclaiming agency over personal and communal narratives.
