Location
Studio Centro de Arte Moderna GulbenkianDamara Inglês, a creative technologist, shares her disruptive approach to the metaverse, where art, fashion and digital experience merge to create new ways of telling stories and building identities.
The lecture takes participants on a journey through a hybrid universe where the digital intertwines with memory and the human experience, bringing to light new ways of thinking about intersectionality, self-expression and culture.
Through her unique perspective, the designer challenges the boundaries between the physical and the virtual, and shows how immersive technologies can reconfigure access to art, knowledge and identity. Throughout the session, people will be encouraged to rethink the metaverse not just as a technological tool, but as a space for cultural immersion and intercultural exchange.
Uniting mysticism and technology, the digital aura and the object, Damara Inglês’s practice provides a vision of the future in which art becomes a living archive, capable of creating deep human connections beyond temporal and spatial barriers. This event is an invitation to those who wish not only to understand the metaverse, but also to explore how it can be used to create and reimagine narratives in the present and future.
