Salomé Honório (they/them) is a post-doctoral researcher, currently filiated to project UrbanoScenes - Post-colonial imaginaries of urbanisation: A future-oriented investigation from Portugal and Angola. They hold a PhD in Comparative Studies from the School of Arts and Humanities of the University of Lisbon, where they carried out a project on the political tensions and contradictions embedded into the writing of experimental U.S. writer Kathy Acker. Their background lies primarily in literary and cultural studies, with a strong emphasis on the interrogation of dominant economies of representation, and their work draws heavily from queer theory, feminism, anti-colonialism, and critical race theory. 

Current research interests include the ongoing inscription of "visibility" as a normative ideal amidst LGBTQIA+ communities; a critical genealogy of the reception of queer discourse in contemporary Portuguese culture; the obviation and objectivation of whiteness as a category of political and cultural analysis, and the potential for experimental writing praxis to engender distinctive conditions of community, transversality, and coalitional understanding. 

Their English-language poetry has been published with platforms and publications such as ZARF, Amberflora, Futch Press, the Earthbound Poetry Series, and Smoke and Mold. They're the author of two poetry pamphlets: "Lábio/Abril (Traveller & Presente, Lisboa. 2015) and "fox, closet & fist" (Face Press, Cambridge, 2024, 2nd edition).
