BIOGRAPHY
João Pedro Fonseca is a transdisciplinary artist and researcher whose work explores posthuman politics and speculative philosophies, focusing on the interactions between technology and nature. He is the co-founder and co-director, alongside artist Carincur, of ZABRA – Center for Posthuman Art Research (2018–present), a Lisbon-based platform dedicated to artistic creation and critical thought surrounding the relationships between art, science, and posthumanity. His practice spans performance, installation, video art, and scenography, articulating body, machine, and speculative aesthetics through processes of material and conceptual hybridization. Among his most notable works are ANATOMIA DA EXTINÇÃO (2019), WIRED DREAMS (2023), NO MORE FIREWORKS (2023), and METAVIOLENCE (2025), as well as, in collaboration, Jezabel (2024), carne.exe (2025) and Wave State Machine (2026) and Jeffthielmusk® (2026). His work has been presented in both institutional and independent contexts, in collaboration with organizations such as the Centro de Arte Moderna – Gulbenkian, Champalimaud Foundation, D. Maria II National Theatre, Futurama, ModaLisboa, Lux Frágil, Sónar Lisboa, MNAC, and Gnration. He also collaborates regularly with creators in the fields of theatre, opera, and dance, contributing scenic design as well as lighting and video design.
