ISABEL DUARTE

I am a designer, researcher, and educator, interested in the intersection between design history and feminism, and how disrupting mechanisms of pedagogy and historiography can affect change.

In 2020, I founded Errata, a research project and publishing platform concentrating on the visibility of women in Portuguese graphic design history, encompassing exhibitions, publishing, and an ongoing podcast series.

Recently I co-curated the exhibition Errata: A feminist revision of Portuguese graphic design history (Museu do Cidade, 2021), and am currently a PhD candidate and member of the Centre for Design History at the University of Brighton. Previously, I have published articles on Futuress.org, worked at Art Review, Eye Magazine, and founded the magazine Voca.
