| Pedro Letria is a Portuguese artist whose work reflects upon issues of displacement and belonging. His use of photography and text are a reflection on how image and language function alone, and once combined, establish an alternate discourse. Mirroring his own multi-cultural trajectory, his photographs have been widely published, and Pedro Letria is the author of nine monographs, including Mármore, from 2007, The Club, from 2014, No Outro Passeio ao Lado da Esplanada, from 2021, and Back Central, from 2026. His work has been exhibited in venues such as the Centro Cultural de Belém, Portugal; Fundació Foto Colectanea, in Barcelona, Spain; Parc de La Villette, Paris, France; Galeria Olido in São Paulo, Brazil, and the Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, Germany. His photographs are part of European public and private collections, such as the Portuguese State Contemporary Art Collection, the Portuguese Center of Photography, CAV- Centro de Artes Visuais, and the Novobanco Art Collection. With a B.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Pedro Letria is a Fulbright scholar and a RISD M.F.A. Photography graduate. He currently teaches at Universidade de Leiria e Oeste, in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal. Download CV here [pdf] |
