Isabel Ferreira de Sousa

ABOUT
As a writer with a passion for language and art, I craft insightful content for both print and online media. With a strong foundation in arts and culture, I am particularly drawn to contemporary artists exploring themes of identity, home, memory, and history.
My published work includes reviews, artist profiles, articles, and interviews. I write in English, Dutch, and Portuguese. If you’re looking for sharp, insightful, well-researched, and articulate writing on contemporary art, don't hesitate to contact me.
