Ana David Mendes. Attending the Ph.D. in Contemporary Art at the University of Coimbra, she has a specialization course in Museology and a degree in Specialized Higher Studies in Management of Arts in Culture and Education. She is the coordinator and artistic curator of Banco das Artes Galeria, the Municipal Gallery of Contemporary Art in Leiria, since 2018. She founded the m|i|mo-moving image museum in 1996, having been the museum coordinator until 2013 and scientific and artistic coordinator until the end of 2017. Since 1999 she has developed several appropriation projects starting from old media devices, belonging to the museum's collection, as mediators, enabling not only research, but stimulating artistic creation in a logic of recreation, such as camera obscura, magic lanterns, optical boxes, perspective theaters. The interactive project "Oficina do Olhar [The Eye Workshop]", created in 2010, is the paradigm of this principle, mediation of museum collection contents through new technologies. Since 2013 she has participated in several research programs coordinated by Victor Flores (Ph.D.) of CICANT, related with stereoscopic photography, participating on the Organizing Committee of the International Conference on Stereo & Immersive Media: Photography and Sound Research and has curated several exhibitions dedicated to stereoscopic photography. She participates in the research project 'The Amazing Optical Machine: Workshop / Rational Recreation / Exhibition' coordinated by Professor Rod Bantjes, from St. Francis Xavier University, Nova Scotia, Canada. Since 1997 she coordinates international artistic exchange programs, mainly with Germany and France.
