Tiago Patatas is a researcher and spatial practitioner, whose work investigates forms of
environmental violence and its articulation with spatial politics. His recent practice interrogates modalities of green extractivism, in particular the eruption of lithium mining frontiers, and nuclear imperialism, including the pursuit for nuclearization and its destructive global expanses. Currently, he is a PhD candidate at the School of Architecture, Royal College of Art, London.
His practice takes multiple formats including installations, digital platforms and evidence for legal
cases.
Individual and collaborative projects were presented at the Nieuwe Instituut, Helsinki Biennial, Galeria Municipal do Porto, Bergen Kunsthall, among other forums. He has taught at Lusófona University and University of Porto. Tiago holds a MA in Research Architecture with distinction from Goldsmiths, University of
London. He is based between London and Porto.
