Inês Neto dos Santos
Inês Neto dos Santos is a multi-disciplinary artist, working with food, people and spaces as metaphors for symbiotic relationships to our surroundings. Her practice moves between performance, installation and social sculpture, investigating the socio-political implications of what we eat and how we come to eat it – creating contexts through which to explore and discuss ecology, collaboration and togetherness. Recently, her research has taken her into the study of beans and their soil regeneration qualities, investigating their relationship to supported sustenance and care. Inês teaches, writes and cooks, having been a guest lecturer at Kingston University and Westminster University. Since March 2021, alongside artist Nora Silva, she co-leads the online course Food Cosmogonies.
