I am a visual artist and filmmaker with a background in Art and Media from FBAUL, Lisbon (BA), and UdK Berlin (MA), as well as a foundation degree in Mechatronics. I was awarded scholarships from the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung (2015-20) and the Berlin Senate, including the Elsa-Neumann-Stipendium (2022-23) and the Recherchestipendium (2024). From 2013 to 2023, I was a member of the Raumerweiterungshalle collective project space at Berlin Ostkreuz. In 2016, I was nominated with the artist group Moles/Mules for the Bundespreis für Kunststudierende (German Federal Prize for Art Students). My works and collaborations have been exhibited internationally.

My practice as an artist weaves together the collective and the individual, exploring how each shapes and is shaped by the other. This practice is influenced by my engagement in Berlin’s queer collective landscape, as well as my personal experiences of migration - whether geographical, gender, or class-related.

I explore these intricacies through transfeminist storytelling, humor and autofiction. In these fictional settings I aim to establish a world where queerness is not something 'other', but a given - seamlessly woven into its fabric. I create a camp visual universe that links class-bound, DIY aesthetics with “Hollywood- techniques”, made increasingly accessible by open-source and freely available softwares. This multilayered and intentionally fractured universe becomes a space for engaging with and reimagining the alternative societal models proposed by queer-feminist science-fiction. My work draws inspiration from the worlds created by Ursula K. Le Guin, Octavia E. Butler, Marge Piercy, Samuel R. Delany, among others.
