Artist-researcher, PhD in aesthetics and art studies
Belo Horizonte — Paris, since 2010
I work with materials, gestures and forms of memory, where stories surface, are passed on and transformed.
Through colonial traces, knowledge of the living world and buried memories, I seek forms capable of bringing other narratives to light.
