Inês Zenha lives and works between Paris and Lisbon. They hold a BA in Fine Arts from Central Saint Martins, London, and have undertaken residencies at La Folie, Barbizon; Atelier 11, Paris; and La Junqueira, Lisbon.

Inês Zenha’s multidisciplinary practice spans installation, painting, sculpture, and ceramics, exploring themes of queer identity, desire, and vulnerability. Through their work, Zenha questions social norms—particularly those rooted in heteropatriarchal structures—offering a poetic and critical reflection on the fluidity and resilience of the body. Their recent projects delve into the intersections between power, transformation, and the creation of new ontologies for marginalized identities.
