Tiago Assis (he/him) is white, cis-male, Portuguese, has a PhD from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), and is a professor and researcher at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto (FBAUP). He had a highly privileged path, due to social structures and conditions, also correlated with access to a very exclusive technological education. The fact that he had such an education led him to research the inherent processes of exclusion and to critically analyze his own actions. This reflection brought him closer to a critical theory of communication with post-structuralist and post-colonial frameworks. It is in this dynamic that he works in Arts Education, teaching and research, increasingly focused on environmental and identity issues.
