About
Joana Nogueira is a multidisciplinary visual artist and educator based in Porto since 2012. She works between ceramics and animation cinema, fields where she builds universes populated by hybrid characters that blend imagination, humor, and personal memory. She signs her ceramic project as Não Sou Rita, an identity where play, irony, and creative freedom become central. She holds a degree in Fine Arts from ESAD.CR and the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice, and a Master's in Illustration and Animation from IPCA. In 2020 she founded Terra Boa Atelier in Porto, where she develops her own work and is dedicated to teaching ceramics. In animation cinema, she has co-directed several internationally exhibited and awarded works, notably "Pronto, era assim" and "Três Vírgula Catorze," and has been developing community projects since 2016. She is part of CURATED PORTO and is represented by Portugal Manual. Her work is present in shops and exhibition spaces in Portugal, Europe, and the USA.
