About the Artist:
Born in Osaka (1988), Yusuke Shimomura has a truly unique background. After spending a decade playing rugby during his student years and later working in a ramen shop, he began his journey into papercutting in 2012 as a completely self-taught artist. His work stands out for its vitality and the fluid energy of his hand-drawn lines, reinventing the traditional style of Kirie. With an international career that includes three consecutive years exhibiting in Paris and workshops taught across the USA, Spain, and New Zealand, Shimomura is now sharing his talent in Portugal.

Thursday, 08/10/2026    EAAD | Campus de Azurém | BPN
On October 8, 2026, at 4:30 PM, the School of Architecture, Art and Design (EAAD) will host the opening of the exhibition "Expanding Agency: Women, Race and the Global Dissemination of Modern Architecture" at the Nuno Portas Library, located in the EAAD building in Azurém.
Expanding Agency: Women, Race and the Global Dissemination of Modern Architecture explores four ways in which women and ethnic minorities had an impact upon the global dissemination of modern architecture and design. These include journalism, patronage, entrepreneurship, and institution building. The role of design businesses, real estate developers, and philanthropists will be addressed alongside that played by the shelter press in order to demonstrate the impact, largely unacknowledged, that women, African Americans, and other overlooked groups had and to explore their motivation, which often included, but was seldom limited to, the necessity to earn a living.

The opening session will feature a talk with Kathleen James-Chakraborty (curator and lead researcher), alongside Andreia Garcia, João Rosmaninho, Jorge Correia, and Sarah Shrbaji. The panel will discuss the impact of gender and race on the global diffusion of modern architecture.
