Inês Valle works as an art curator and is the founder of The Cera Project, a non-profit organisation dedicated to promoting contemporary art outside Eurocentric and Western narratives. She co-founded DUSK, an international contemporary art festival in Iberian Peninsula’s ancestral stone sites. Until 2023, she served as the artistic director of insofar, a gallery committed to challenging stereotypes and redefining the relationship between artist, artwork, and audience to address the complexity and aesthetics of diversity. Her curatorial vision earned the gallery’s exhibition programme the recognition by the SNP as one of the “Best Exhibitions of 2023 in Portugal.”
As an independent curator, she has collaborated with various organisations, including the Centro Cultural de Belém, Portugal; Museu de Arte Contemporânea - Coleção Berardo, Portugal; Canberra Contemporary Art, Australia; the National Museum of Lagos, Nigeria; and Artspace Aotearoa, New Zealand. Inês Valle holds a Master’s degree in Curatorial Studies from the Faculty of Fine Arts, University of Lisbon.
Selected exhibitions include The Fire of Ideas at Museu Coleção Berardo; the retrospective And the Trash Goes by António Ole; the group show Red Tape featuring Ai Weiwei, Khaled Jarrar, and Miguel Palma; and Pneumacity Lagos, a public space exhibition with work by Andrew Esiebo in Nigeria, among others. She currently works at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation / CAM–Modern Art Centre.
