MARTA DUARTE DA VEIGA

ʕ•ᴥ•ʔっ

ABOUT

Marta Duarte da Veiga (b. 1997 in Lisbon, PT) explores the intersection of play and public space. In a world tending towards optimization and seriousness, play can be a way to take a step against the need to always be productive and efficient. Veiga’s objects set a playground for being critical and derisive of anything that was presented as complete and concluded before. Here, play is a serious matter.

Having graduated from a Masters in Craft at Konstfack in 2023, Veiga is currently based in Stockholm and her work has been recently shown at Kulturhuset Stadsteatern, Konsthall C and many self-initiated, artist-run exhibitions.

Not taking for granted our role in shaping the city we live in, Veiga uses ceramic and glass objects that allude to fauna, flora, and the peripheral, creating new configurations of care and attention. As a playful reimagining of how we move through and within urban space, her work prompts us not only to question our physical presence but also to shift our gaze away from anthropocentric views.
