Tiago Martins Pinto (b. 1985, Porto, Portugal), based in Helsinki, is an art-based researcher working mainly with video and installation. His works deal with themes of otherness, identity, and social exclusion. These topics are typically discussed through community-engaged and informal pedagogy practices - STEAM Education. In his artistic work, he is interested in examining power structures, social elitism, and youth empowerment through media.
Tiago graduated with a Master's in Contemporary Art Creation from the University of Aveiro, Portugal, and also holds a Bachelor's degree in Multimedia from the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança. He is currently a doctoral candidate in Art Education at Aalto University in the Department of Art and Media. His works have been presented in both Europe and North America.
One of his fondest memories is the smell of the ocean in Porto on a misty day, while drinking chocolate milk inside a striped canvas beach tent.
