InterStruct aims to foster alternative narratives, providing a discursive platform where people from different cultural backgrounds can collaborate, propose interventions and create politically engaged projects through artistic practice.
This forum values inclusivity and encourages empathy and self-reflection as a foundation for challenging and dismantling adverse ideologies and stereotypes. The name InterStruct is composed of two elements: the prefix inter means “between”, and the root struere, in Latin, means “to build” or “to assemble”.
The collective was created in 2018 in Porto, whose social context is also the focus for many of its creations. InterStruct is constantly evolving and reformulating. Currently, the artistic collective is spread across Berlin, Lisbon, London, and Porto. There is no organizational hierarchy, as all decisions are taken collectively. This fluid approach allows for a greater symbiosis between individual and collective motivations.
The curatorial and artistic team for Reimagining the Untold consists of Desirée Desmarattes, Claire Sivier, Miguel F, Natasha Bulha Costa, Neuza Furtado, and Vijay Patel.
