Professor Jorge Lopes Ramos

speaker/advisory board

Born and raised within Borel (one of Rio de Janeiro’s largest favelas) to a Polish and Romanian immigrant family, Professor Jorge Lopes Ramos is an award winning London-based artist, curator and researcher working in the intersection between art, technology, theatre, games and social impact. Jorge is co-founder and Executive Director of East London venue G.A.S. Station (Games and Arts Stratford) and non-for-profit theatre/digital arts company ZU-UK with Yemeni-British Artistic Director Persis Jadé Maravala. In a world where mainstream narratives normalize hate and fear, and where contemporary loneliness is a new epidemic, Persis Jadé and Jorge believe in the need for shared rituals, new narratives and experiences that empower those most vulnerable to have a voice and participate in culture.
