Biography

Begoña Farré Torras is an FCT-CEEC researcher at Instituto de História da Arte.

Her research addresses mural painting theory and practice in the 20th century, with a focus on mural production in Portugal and Spain between the turn of the 20th century and the 1970s. Her transnational approach to the study of the mural in modern Europe extends to the Iberian countries’ connections with Latin American muralism. In 2025-2026 she led the FCT-funded exploratory project Mural in Motion, Lime, Pigments, and Pixels – Bringing Modern Mural Heritage Back to Public Life (2023.11110.PEX) that critically explored the use of computational and digital tools for art historical curatorship.

Begoña is part of the RIHA Journal Local Editorial Team for Portugal since 2014, and a member of the editorial board for Revista de História da Arte since 2025.
