Salomé Lamas is a Portuguese filmmaker, visual artist and educator. Over the past fifteen years and with a constant production of more than thirty projects, Salomé Lamas' work has been contextualized in visual culture, artistic studies and film studies, exhibited and distributed internationally in the areas of cinema (cinema theaters, festivals, VOD streaming) and contemporary art (galleries, museums, art fairs, biennials).

He has been developing an artistic practice that explores the relationship between representation and the narrative power of social reality, proposing something different. Around, but not beyond, the real: beyond, but not short of, the fictional.

To address the efforts to expand this interstice, she refers to her work as parafictions of critical media practice. With a mixed background in film and visual arts, and a research informed by a critical, transnational and subjective epistemology, focused on the possibilities opened up by ecological thinking, as well as on the connection between artistic praxis, economic and aesthetic mutations and contemporary philosophy, she has been challenged to follow a single orientation or to combine them in her action as an artist/director, but also as an educator, in various contexts, levels and geographies.

The multidisciplinary nature of her artistic work continually challenges the boundaries of visual narrative to foster critical dialogues that engage audiences with the intricacies of human experience and broader social dynamics, centered on migration, postcolonialism, and the critique of capitalism. This research-based practice perpetuates a legacy of intellectual inquiry and artistic innovation and critically addresses the social and economic roles of media production, across the development, production, exhibition, distribution, and archiving stages, with output ranging from films, audiovisual installations, and publications.
