Joana Carro (Lisbon, 1988) develops her practice through the intersection between writing, film, visual arts, gastronomy, apnea, publishing and design. Her interdisciplinary practice focuses on experimentation with media and its limits. She is interested in the mixture of art and life, often moving through unconventional contexts of production.

She holds an undergraduate degree in Audiovisual Communication and in Theory of Literature and Comparative Literature (U. Complutense, 2011, 2012) and a master’s degree in Contemporary Culture (Fundación Ortega y Gasset, 2013). She co-directs the Fulgencio Pimentel publishing project and has curated the Libros Mutantes Madrid Art Book Fair (La Casa Encendida, 2018-2020), among other cultural events. He has translated more than thirty books and has co-written, with César Sánchez, El libro del futuro (2018), an artifact-capsule of time that was published in Spain, Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, France, Italy and South Korea. Her work has been recognized through various awards, including the Gràffica Award, three National Awards from the Spanish Ministry of Culture for the best edited books and the Lázaro Galdiano Award for editorial quality in art books. She has developed her artistic practice in residencies such as Cité Internationale des Arts (Paris) and LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial (Gijón). She is currently developing her first feature film Me llamo Erik Satie, como todo el mundo, selected for #LAB of the Festival Internacional Novos Cinemas de Pontevedra, in the Meditalents program in Marseille and produced by Esnatu Zinema.
