Tânia Dinis, | Portugal, 2024, 20'
So small, looking all grown up, combines fictional and documentary treatment and uses photographic archives, real images and the oral testimony of several women from the regions of Trás-os-Montes, Beira, Alto and Baixo Minho who, between the 1940s and 1980s, came to the city of Porto to work as domestic servants.
Tânia Dinis (Vila Nova de Famalicão, 1983). She holds a Master's degree in Contemporary Artistic Practices from FBAUP. Her work crosses different perspectives and artistic expressions, such as photography, performance art, cinema or relational aesthetics. This research is based on investigation and collection in family archives, personal or otherwise, as well as other devices, exploring the idea of image as an experience of the ephemerality of time and memory, also using other records of the real image. She has taken part in several group exhibitions. She is represented in the contemporary art collection of Porto City Council.
