about

Tânia A. Cardoso (Lisbon, 1985) is an aspiring illustrator, urbanist and researcher based in Rotterdam. Currently, she is a PhD candidate at the University of Amsterdam and a Master of Urbanism by the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro interested in researching the relationship between illustration and the city.

​

Her Master thesis "Urban Chronicles: Representation and critique of the city through Graphic Novels" was nominated for the ANPUR 2015 award in Brazil and was a finalist for the Future Ideas 2015 Competition in The Netherlands.

 

Drawing in the streets of the city is her favourite hobby and her illustration work has integrated several international collective exhibitions in Portugal, Brazil, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom; won the “Worldwide Picture Book Illustration Competition” 2015 in the Netherlands and the “Gorsedh Kernow Creativity Award” 2017 in Cornwall, UK and is currently nominated for the “Women Cartoonists International Award” 2019 in Normandy, France.
