#8 - Joana Francisco: Relentless Search For Oneself In Various Types of Art
Episode description
Joana Francisco is a London-based artist focusing on various types of art, including film, music and theater. Being born in Portugal, Joana was interested in art from a very young age and represented her school in competitions as a performer and a singer. However, the educational curriculum didn't suit her which left her uncertain about her career path. On top of that, she had to deal with a range of obstacles, including racism, family separation and other teenage problems. Possibly thanks to these difficulties she discovered her new life trajectory and moved to London to study film. Still, she’s proud of where she comes from and shares details about growing up in Almada, a city the opposite of Lisbon. Joana has recently left her job in hospitality and received an unexpected opportunity that may have inspired her to focus on performing again. Listen to this episode to learn more about life in Portugal, find out what strange methods the performers use and get inspired by Joana’s positive mindset.
