Inês Moreira (b. 1977) is an active researcher, curator, and editor based in Porto, Portugal, with an academic background in architecture (MArch), urban cultures (MA), curatorial studies (PhD), and art history (Postdoc).

Since 2001, she has been curating, editing, and conducting interdisciplinary research focused on urban and spatial subjects. Her work spans the uses and life cycles of abandoned buildings, non-beloved heritage, post-industrial structures and other territories left neglected after human activity. After collaborating with cultural and academic institutions across Europe, she is currently involved in the Extreme Sites Project, the civic platform Refinery Board and the [Infra]structures Project at the research center of CEAA-ESAP. These projects serve as advanced training and fieldwork platforms with young researchers and artists. 

Inês is an Auxiliary Researcher at CEAA-ESAP where she created the Post Graduation Program on Curating, Urban Cultures and Spatial Practices, and a guest professor lecturing on Collaborative Practices at the Faculty of Fine Arts of University of Porto. She is also a founding member of Parábola Crítica Cultural Association, a member of the Ecologies of Care network, and of the editorial board of Jornal Arquitectos. She holds a PhD in Curatorial Knowledge from Goldsmiths College, University of London (2014), a Master’s degree from the Metropolis Master’s Program in Architecture and Urban Culture, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya / Centro de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona (2003), and a degree in Architecture from FAUP (2001).
