Maria Trabulo (b. 1989) is a visual artist and researcher based in Porto, Portugal, whose interdisciplinary practice spans the fields of visual art, art history, science, technology, cultural heritage, and conservation techniques. Her work is grounded in research and explores the intersections of these disciplines, using a variety of media to examine complex historical and cultural narratives.

Trabulo’s artistic output is defined by her ability to merge sculpture, painting, video, and photography within immersive installations. Central to her practice are themes of memory, history, and the effects of political action on the preservation or destruction of cultural heritage and historical events.

Throughout her career, Maria Trabulo has collaborated with numerous prestigious institutions, organizations, museums, galleries and art spaces both in Portugal and internationally, which include: Photoscene Cologne, MNAC Museum Lisbon, ISPC New York, Frieze London, Cité des Arts Paris, EIB Foundation Luxembourg, Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Galeria Cristina Guerra Lisbon, Galeria Pedro Cera Lisbon, Galeria Presença Porto, Towards Gallery Toronto, Galerie nouveaux deuxdeux Munich, L’Atelier d’Aubervilliers Paris, Towards Gallery Toronto, Kunsthalle Wien Vienna, and the Serralves Contemporary Art Museum Porto. Her work has also been showcased at prominent venues such as Galeria da Boavista Lisbon, Walk&Talk Festival Azores, MNAA Museum Lisbon, TMoCA Tehran, Tiroler Künstlerschaft - Neue Galerie Innsbruck, MAAT Museum Lisbon, Karat Cologne, Super Tokonoma Kassel, Kluckyland Vienna, Quartier General La Chaux-de-Fonds, Presença Gallery Porto, and the Nuno Centeno Gallery Porto, the BoCA Biennial of Contemporary Arts Lisbon, and the Reykjavík Arts Festival.
