Rosemarie Lopes is an multi-disciplinary artist, and anthropologist who is particularly interested in consciousness, and neuroscience.



Lopes moved to London in 1996 to study. Whilst reading European Studies she realised politics wasn't where her heart was. Following a period of globetrotting Lopes went back to London, and in 2007 read for a MSc in Social Anthropology at UCL.

With ‘The Lancet’, UCL sponsored ‘The Brain Unravelled’ in 2009. 'The Brain Unravelled' was an art science exhibition that Lopes conceptualised. It brought together some of the greatest minds in art, anthropology, and neuroscience such as Antony Gormley, Liliane Lijn, Storm Thorgerson, Prof Richard Frackowiak, Prof Geraint Rees, Prof Brian Butterworth, The Future Sound of London, Prof Chris Knight, Prof Joshua Sanes, Prof Jean Livet to name just a few. Barbara Follett, then Minister of Culture in the UK, opened the show at the Slade Research Centre in Woburn Square in London.

In 2013 Lopes travelled throughout Asia, and South America. At the 2017 'Websummit' tech conference in Lisbon, 'The New Art Festival', where Lopes was exhibiting, nominated her to represent them on a panel discussion with Crimson Rose - one of the cultural founders of Burning Man Arts Festival - on 'Culture, Art, and Spirituality in a Digital Age'. In 2018 Rosemarie went on to visit Crimson at Burning Man. For 2022's European Researchers Night at Fundação Champalimaud in Lisbon, Lopes presented a collaboration with Oxford University Professor Zoltán Molnár.

Currently working on her PhD proposal.

Born in Lisbon 1977.
