Lara Seixo Rodrigues

Lara Seixo Rodrigues was born and raised in Covilhã and moved to Lisbon in 1997 to study architecture. About 10 years ago, her passion for urban art got in the way of her career as an architect and, from then on, without any labels, and with a lot of trial and error, she built herself up as an urban art curator and producer.
In 2014 she founded the Mistaker Maker platform www.mistakermaker.org, from which she explores the potential of art as a tool for transformation and enhancement of the communities she works with.

As a soundtrack, Lara chose a few artists who often accompany her while she works: Apparat, Fred and Andrew Bird.

In this series of interviews, we talk to architects who have not followed the traditional path of the profession: with one foot in architecture, their professional activity has found fertile ground in other creative fields. We navigate between expectations and archetypes: we try to understand how a background in architecture enabled an alternative career path, how this “transition” took place and where this matrix still manifests itself in their daily activity.
We talk in the workspace of each guest, who also chooses the soundtrack, between the music they listen to while working or simply the music they can’t stop listening to.
