Tiago Martins Pinto (b. 1985, Porto, Portugal), currently residing in Helsinki, is an art-based researcher whose creative practice primarily revolves around video and installation art. His work intricately explores themes of otherness, identity, and social exclusion, often employing community-engaged and informal pedagogy practices, particularly within the realm of STEAM education. Through his artistic endeavors, Tiago seeks to interrogate power dynamics, challenge social elitism, and promote youth empowerment through various media forms.

Tiago holds a Master's degree in Contemporary Art Creation from the University of Aveiro in Portugal, complemented by a Bachelor's degree in Multimedia from the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança. He is presently pursuing a doctoral degree in Art Education at Aalto University, within the Department of Art and Media.

Among his cherished memories is the nostalgia of the ocean's scent in Porto on a fog-laden day, where he enjoyed the simple pleasure of chocolate milk inside a striped canvas beach tent.
