Rebecca Leal Moradalizadeh (b. London, 1989) is a Portuguese-Iranian visual artist and performer based in Porto, Portugal. In 2015, she created LandMarks Series, an ongoing autobiographical project focused on her origins, initiated during the process of obtaining her legal Iranian citizenship. The body of work, resulting from her post-migrant condition, has allowed her to reflect on her personal experiences of identity displacement, on the territory and its borders and on her place of belonging in the midst of these two cultures, mainly through performance art, video art and gastronomy. She is currently a PhD candidate in Fine Arts at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto with an FCT scholarship, with the theme In Search of an Identity through the Iranian Diaspora. A cross-cultural in-between vision from the performative body.

Exposition supporting the Artistic Research and Collective Intelligence workshop, 4-5 October 2025, Porto Academy of Fine Arts. Theme: In recent years, latent space has become a recurring notion in the field of AI and generative art, but the term has a much broader origin and resonance, finding relevance in various fields of knowledge such as psychology, biology and computer science. Translated into the field of artistic research, latent space can refer to indefinable and potential configurations, to a fluid and interstitial zone in which knowledge and imagination take shape through non-linear processes and intuitions. The workshop will offer a space for discussion and experimentation, welcoming proposals and reflections on the processes of artistic research, to investigate unforeseen configurations, lateral paths, and methodological deviations. The activity is promoted by the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome as part of the Enacting Artistic Research project.
