Manuela São Simao was born in São Paulo, Brazil, in 1980.
With the age of five she goes to Portugal where, in 2002, finishes the
degree in Painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts, Porto University.
She studied with an Erasmus scholarship at the National Academy of Art in
Sofia, Bulgaria, where the confrontation with eastern territories with
rather closed mentalities (pre - EU entrance) inspired her visual and
conceptual work which continues approaching physical borders and its
metaphorical relation with psychological boundaries.
As a multidisciplinary artist, she is continually complementing her
training and presenting projects in areas such as illustration,
performance, intermedia, public art, sound art and curatorial work.
Since 2008 she has been developing intermedia projects with the
collaboration of other visual artists, performers and musicians. These
projects include: 'GIBBERISH' at Silence Festival in Lisbon (Goethe
Institut); 'TRANSHUMANCE.PORTO' at Future Places Festival; 'MajHora FM' at
Serralves em Festa (Porto); 'GIBBERISH.PORTO' at TRAMA Performing Arts
Festival (FLUP), 'PECA (IN)CONCRETA' at Ciclo Vinte e Sete Sentidos
(Culturgest, Lisbon).
She is a member of the Association for Experimental Music - Granular and
Radio Zero in Lisbon, since 2008. She recently lived in London where, among
other things, was responsible for curating and organizing a series of sound
installations with broadcasts on Resonance FM and Mobile Radio (Bienal de
São Paulo radio).

Between 2009 and 2011 he taught electronic music at ESMAE. He also created

>From September 2010 till August 2012 he curated the project Digitópia, at
Casa da Música, where he was already developing intensive work since 2007.
He developed workshops, concerts and software related to music education.
Since 2010, he has a scholarship by Fundação Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT),
pursuing a PhD in Digital Media at Universidade do Porto and UT Austin.
Supervised by Carlos Guedes and Bruce Pennycook, his area of investigation
includes sound, space and identity.

His compositional activity also embraces electronic and instrumental music
for Theater, Film and Dance. These collaborations led to some international
awards. In 2013, at Gaudeamus Music Week, he won the ECPNM/Gaudeamus prize
with his composition “Do Desenho e do Som #3″ for Harp.
