Residency project

She explores the intersections of interactions and utilizes “Gambiarra” to seek possible images of Democracy on “Cuir” (Queer) performativity bodies. She activates euphoria, delirium, dispersion, and play in her pedagogical and artistic processes, developing a concept of “Fluid Pedagogy”. She attempts to reposition languages by sliding between vulnerability, confusion, dreams, nightmares, the subtle, and the obscene.
