Biography

Joana Cunha Leal teaches at the Art History Department of the School of Social Sciences and Humanities of the Universidade NOVA de Lisboa. She is responsible for graduate and post-graduate courses on nineteenth and early twentieth century art, art theory and historiography, and urban studies. Her recent work privileges the study of Iberian modernisms and the avant-garde circulations. Back in 2010, she was awarded a Fulbright Research Fellowship (SAIC, Chicago). She was also a fellow of the Stone Summer Theory Institute for two successive years (2010 and 2011). Joana’s studies on Iberian modernism were consolidated in the context of the two research projects funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology she run as PI: “Southern Modernisms” (2014-2015), and “Iberian Modernisms and the Primitivist Imaginary” (2018-2022). Joana was also the director of the NOVA FCSH Art History Institute between 2016 and 2022, and acts now as deputy director in the board elected for the 2023-2025 term. In the last couple of years, she was elected to the Board of RIHA-The International Association of Research Institutes in the History of Art (October 2021) and appointed as member of the Scientific Council of the INHA—Institut national d’histoire de l’art (January 2023).
