Daisy Hildyard Biography & Facts
Lisbon-born Filipa Ramos is a writer, lecturer and curator. She received a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from the School of Critical Studies at Kingston University, London. Her research, manifested in exhibitions, critical and theoretical texts, lectures, workshops and edited publications, focuses on how art addresses ecology, fostering relationships between nature and technology. She advocates a move away from anthropocentric approaches in the arts and humanities. She is curator of Art Basel Film and a founding curator of Vdrome, an online artists’ cinema that she co-founded in 2013 with Editor Edoardo Bonaspetti, Curator Jens Hoffmann and Haus der Kunst's Director Andrea Lissoni. She was Director of the Contemporary Art Department of the city of Porto, including the Galeria Municipal do Porto. Recent projects include the ongoing arts, humanities and science festival The Shape of a Circle in the Mind of a Fish (since 2018) and "Persons Persone Personen", the 8th Biennale Gherdëina (2022), both curated with Lucia Pietroiusti. In 2021, she co-curated “Bodies of Water”, the 13th Shanghai Biennale (with Andrés Jaque, Lucia Pietroiusti, Marina Otero Verzier and Mi You), and co-curated the group exhibition “Feet of Clay” at Porto's City Gallery (with Chus Martinez). Previously, she curated the large exhibition project on becoming animal and becoming other, “Animalesque,” at Bildmuseet Umeå Archived 2020-10-20 at the Wayback Machine, Sweden (Summer 2019) and BALTIC, Gateshead (Winter/Spring 2019/20). Ramos has extensive experience as an editor and publisher. She was Editor-in-Chief of e-flux criticism (2013–20), Associate Editor of Manifesta Journal (2009–11) and contributed for Documenta 13 (2012) and 14 (2017). She authored Lost and Found (Silvana Editoriale, 2009) and edited Animals (Whitechapel Gallery/MIT Press, 2016). Her upcoming book, The Artist as Ecologist, will be published in the UK by Lund Humphries in 2024. She lectures extensively in the fields of contemporary art and ecology. She is Lecturer at the Master Programme of the Arts Institute of the Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz, Basel, where she leads the Art and Nature seminars. She co-authored Theater, Garden, Bestiary A Materialist History of Exhibitions ed. by Tristan García and Vincent Normand (Sternberg Press, 2019), The Wild Book of Inventions, ed. by Chus Martinez (Sternberg Press, 2020), Sex Ecologies, ed. by Stefanie Hessler (MIT Press, 2021) and "More-than-Human" (HNI, Serpentine Galleries, 2021). She edited Animals (London: Whitechapel Gallery/MIT Press, 2016), and authored Lost and Found (Milan: Silvana Editoriale, 2009). Her writing and research on art, film and nature has been published in magazines and catalogues worldwide, such as Afterall, art agenda., Cura, Frieze, Mousse, Nero, Spike, South or The White Review. She has also extensively written for exhibition books catalogues, namely for Amalia Pica's please listen hurry others speak better (2018), Chris Marker's Catalogue Raisonée (2018), Daniel Steegmann Mangrané's Animal That Doesn't Exist, Heman Chong's Abstracts from the Straits Times (2018); Haus der Kulturen der Welt's 2 or 3 Tigers; Allan Sekula's OKEANOS (2017); Elise Florenty & Marcel Türkowsky's One head too many (2017); Insomnia—Sleeplessness as a Cultural Symptom (2016); Archaeology & Exorcisms: Moving Image and the Archive (2016); Emma Smith's Practice of Place (2015); Christian Andersson's Legende (2015); Stadt/Bild — Image of a City (2015); Ursula Mayer's But We Loved Her (2014); Performing the Institution(al), vol. (2011). Interested in the ways in which moving-image-based technologies (film, video) are able of inaugurating and establishing relationship across humans and other animals, her research focuses on the intersection of art history, eco-activisms and film studies, with a particular emphasis on animal presences in artists' cinema. At the same time, she is interested in how the cinema and the zoo look at one another and shape each other as cinematic entities and spaces, which became the topic of "From Zao to Zoo", her PhD thesis. In 2017 she held a public conversation at Tate Modern with Donna Haraway on the occasion of the London film premiere of Fabrizio Terranova's film Storytelling for Earthly Survival (2016). In 2018 she was in conversation with writer and poet Eileen Myles, discussing animals, companionship and loss on occasion of their book Afterglow (A Dog's Memoir). Also in 2018, she and Lucia Pietroiusti were in conversation with anthropologist Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing during "The Shape of a Circle in the Mind of a Fish with Plants" symposium. In 2023, she introduced Claire Pentecost's lecture at Institute Art Gender Nature, Basel. With Serpentine Galleries' Curator of General Ecology, Lucia Pietroiusti, she initiated the symposia project "The Shape of a Circle in the Mind of a Fish".

It also featured the performance Sleep Walkers/Zoo Pieces by Simone Forti, interpreted by long-time collaborator Claire Filmon, and the screening of Michela di Mattei's videos. The second symposium, entitled "we have never been one" took place at Ambika P3/University of Westminster in December 2018, featuring Heather Barnett, site-specific practitioners Gruff Theatre, swarm robotics engineer Sabine Hauert, science historian and writer Daisy Hildyard, neuroscientist Leah Kelly, science sociologist Hannah Landecker, anthropologist Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing, anthropologist Germain Meulemans, biological systems scientist and network architect Phoebe Tickell and artist Anaïs Tondeur plus film and sound works by artists Sophia Al-Maria and Jenna Sutela and composer Annea Lockwood.
