MARIA PITA GUERREIRO
PORTUGAL, (1991) based between Lisbon and Stockholm.
 
I am an object designer! Sometimes I create commercial products, and other times, experimental pieces with complex narratives exploring the intersection of design, craft, science, and health.

In parallel to my artistic practice, I work within production/coordination/administration of exhibitions and events.




NOW POP-Up Exhibition Vintage Sphere + Vadá Project, Stockholm

NEXT: 2026 [solo show] Winter Blues, Konstepedemin, Gotherburg
