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

Tânia M. Guerreiro is an independent curator, producer and researcher. She holds a degree in Set Design from ESTC and trained in Management/Production at Forum Dança. She has worked in production, communication and programming across a range of cultural organisations. She was Executive Coordinator of REDE (2009–2010) and President of its Board (2016–2017).

In 2009, she founded Produções Independentes, where she produced and supported artists at the beginning of their careers. In 2016, she founded ORG.I.A and, in 2018, initiated SELF-MISTAKE, a project centred on experimentation, autonomy and artistic risk.

She curated Dancing Is My Revolution and created projects such as SELF-UNCENSORED, which investigates censorship and self-censorship in contemporary society and within artistic and curatorial practices. In 2026, SELF-UNCENSORED received a five-star review by Rita Xavier in PÚBLICO/Ípsilon. She is currently developing CRIAÇÃO DO NADA, focusing on acceleration and hyperproduction and experimenting with alternative conditions for artistic research, creation and the deepening of artistic processes.

Alongside her curatorial practice, she works as a consultant in strategy, production and funding, and serves on juries for various artistic programmes. In this capacity, she collaborates with the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and Loja Lisboa Cultura/Lisbon City Council. In 2017, she received the Natércia Campos Award for Best Cultural Production.

Her work is characterised by the creation of contexts for artistic experimentation and resistance, in which the intersection of art and critical thinking plays a central role.
