About
Mariana Martins de Oliveira is a multidisciplinary artist whose work intersects food, ecology, education, and participatory art. With a background in Art Studies and postgraduate studies in Contemporary Photography, Museology, and Curatorial Studies, she collaborates with communities and artists to explore food cultures, ecological sustainability, and social practices.
Her artistic practice encompasses performative meals, installations, workshops, and image and written pieces, where food serves as both a medium and a tool for fostering conviviality, dialogue, and reflection. Mariana's work engages deeply with contemporary ecological and social issues, often through the lens of care, collective responsibility, and sustainability.
Since 2018, Mariana has been involved in public education programs, collaborating with museums and art institutions across Portugal. In addition to her artistic practice, she works in the fields of creative direction, food design, production, and communication, supporting a range of projects in the arts and culture that promote collaboration and artistic expression. In 2024, she co-founded Pousio, a situated research collective that explores material culture, vernacular knowledge, and ecological futures.
