**Inês Neto dos Santos** is an artist, educator and researcher born in Lisbon and based in London/Brussels. She completed an MA in Visual Communication at Royal College of Art (2016) and a BA in Graphic Design and Illustration at London College of Communication (2013). Her practice moves between performance, installation and social sculpture, investigating food in its intertwined socio-political, cultural and ecological dimensions. Through her work, Inês creates contexts and frameworks to explore collaboration, generosity, care and togetherness.

In recent years, she has delved into the practical and metaphorical dimensions of fermentation, as a gateway into our enmeshed, multispecies existence. More recently, Inês’ research has taken her into the study of beans and their soil regeneration qualities, investigating their relationship to supported sustenance and care.

Exhibiting her work often happens in participatory formats of knowledge exchange and workshops. Inês has been a guest lecturer at Kingston University, Brighton University, Royal College of Art and Westminster University.

Since March 2021,  Inês has co-lead the online course [**Food Cosmogonies**](https://www.thegramounce.com/courses) with artist Nora Silva. The course seeks to propose food as central to the world-making process. This course arises from the collective The Gramounce, which Inês co-runs with Nora Silva and Finn Thomson.
