From an intimate perspective, her work addresses vulnerability and social criticism, understanding the body as a space of research and resistance. Her practice investigates the relationships between body, image and power, articulating between memory and affections to analyze how the image constructs stories, identities and forms of perception. <\/p>

It integrates different languages\u2014photography, video, performance and Humanities\u2014and at the intersection with the performing arts, it explores other ways of creating images and understanding them as relational spaces.<\/p>

The diversity of formats responds to the desire to investigate the production of meaning and activate critical thinking, emotion and dialogue, both in individual and collective processes and in multicultural and intergenerational contexts. From here, it understands humanity as a shared space where differences merge. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
