ORG.I.A - ORGANIZATION, INVESTIGATION AND ARTS

ORG.I.A is an organization that promotes artistic experimentation in the field of dance and performance.

Its main objective is to provide conditions for the creation of new concepts of representation, programming and creation.

It develops and promotes projects and independent curatorship and proposes to investigate other ways of operating in the arts in Portugal.

It aims to contribute to a new dynamic in the performing arts, in a movement of liberation from current programmatic constraints, promoting the empowerment of creators and their autonomy and independence, both in the production of their shows and in their programming.

ORG.I.A also provides support and consultancy to emerging and independent artists and supports the financial management of their projects.

It supports the sector through financial grants, strategic advice, production and creative consultancy.

It has also developed alternative programming proposals such as Peep Show and three editions of the Dançar é a Minha Revolução event.

Tânia M. Guerreiro - Producer, Independendent curator and Consultant

Lisbon, 1975. She holds a degree in Scenography from ESTC (Lisbon), with additional training at the Institut del Teatre in Barcelona (1996–1998). She studied Intermedia at Escola Massana (Barcelona) and Performing Arts Management/Production at Forum Dança (Lisbon, 1999).

She has worked in production at Casa dos Dias da Água (performance), the Bienal da Maia (visual arts), and O Som e a Fúria (cinema); in communication at ZDB and the Festival Temps d’Images; and in programming at Festival FIAR and Transforma, where she oversaw the management of the European project Imagine 2020.

In 2009–2010, she was the executive coordinator of REDE, and in 2016–2017, its president.

In 2009, she founded Produções Independentes, producing early-career artists such as Jonas&Lander, Rui Catalão, Diana Niepce, Tiago Vieira, and Bernardo Chatillon.

In 2018, she launched Self-Mistake, supporting experimental, autonomous, and risk-based projects and self-curated presentations, involving more than 35 artists, including Ana Libório, Gaya de Medeiros, Tita Maravilha, Joãozinho Costa, Xana Novais, Carlota Lagido, and Henrique Furtado.

She curated and produced three editions of Dançar é a Minha Revolução, a one-day event featuring multiple performances, and currently develops two projects under Self-Mistake: Criação do Nada, which aims to slow down and make production processes more conscious, and Self-Uncensored, which seeks to create contexts for artistic freedom and to challenge societal self-censorship.

She has managed the strategy and implementation of communication for her projects for several years. As a production and funding consultant, she advises artists at Loja Lisboa Cultura/CML and independently, and has also served on juries for various artistic programs.

In 2017, she received the Natércia Campos Award for Best Cultural Production.

Her work is characterized by contexts of experimentation and artistic resistance, where the intersection of art and critical thinking plays a central role.
