Lucía Gómez

Lucia started as a philosopher in the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Her former interest was mostly related to the art, ethics & aesthetics area of the field. As Philosophy does not have delimited boundaries, she decided to take one step further into the practical field and look at different perspectives to combine this theoretical background with her fascination for popular culture. Therefore, she decided to broaden her horizons and start a Master programme in Arts & Culture at Utrecht University.

After obtaining the MA degree with a thesis on metal music, she came back to Peru and continued pursuing the practical side of art and culture. She enrolled in a Cultural Management program in the Museo de Arte de Lima, gathering more valuable knowledge about Creative Industries, Marketing & Communication, Strategic Management, Funding, Branding, UX, Cultural Legislation, Design Thinking, and so on. During this time, she also had the opportunity to be a lecturer at the Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, adapting her experience and knowledge to first year students, while also volunteering at the Ministry of Culture of Peru in the areas of Knowledge Management and Music.

Her first opportunity to translate this knowledge into practice occurred with the Spirit of Metal project, based on the academic view of the Peruvian metal scene, both covering its history and relevant discussions about professionalization and mass media. Since then, she keeps developing a fond for academic research on popular culture and its business-wise perception and application. This includes several presentations on international conferences about popular music research and cultural management as well as articles published around the same topics.

Lucia’s interests keep increasing alongside the different courses she currently teaches at the HU, focusing primarily on media and content creation, new technologies, creative and participatory cultures, and research methodology.
