Inês Thomas Almeida holds a PhD in Historical Musicology. Her research aims to foster an understanding of Lusophone musical heritage in which women are not peripheral figures but agents in the creation, preservation, and transformation of music. The lecture will reclaim these invisible legacies, from Arabic-Andalusian female singers in southern Portugal and mixed-race Brazilian prima donnas to 19th-century singing nuns, the first female conductors in Portugal and Brazil, and more.

Inês Beleza Barreiros (Universidade Nova de Lisboa/Brown University) is an art historian, cultural critic, and curator. Her research delves into how art an images become knowledge producing objects and she has published on the visual cultural, public memory, and afterlives of colonialism in the Portuguese-speaking worlds. She is presently preparing the monograph Thinking Virtually: The Afterlives of Portuguese Imperialism. Wednesday, December 4th, 5:30pm Marketplace
