lives and works at São Paulo, Brazil
Born in Manaus, in the north of Brazil, and daughter of evangelical missionaries from the Amazon, her relationship with art begins inside the church, between trips across the state, being also prepared for her mission that would begin outside there. In São Paulo, her production emerges as an interpreter of the city’s nightlife. Her work with performance expands into dialogues with new perspectives on transvestite existence, questioning the conditions that permeate them from processes of border transition and sensitive dives that build intimate records of a northern artist. As artistic director of Ateliê TRANSmoras, alongside designer Vicenta Perrotta, she built imaginary constructions within fashion, evoking dialogues that shed light on the subjectivities of Brazilian dissident corporealities between 2015 and 2023.
In 2020, her research was developed as part of the Delfina Foundation Residency Program in partnership with the Inclusartiz Institute in London and in 2021 at Piramidón – Centro de Arte Contemporânea (Barcelona), both with the support of the Inclusartiz Institute (Brazil). She has already taken part in several group exhibitions, at the IAB SP – Instituto de Arquitetos do Brasil (São Paulo) and at the Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro (Rio de Janeiro) and had two solo shows in 2021, Pitiu de Cobra (Delirium, São Paulo) and Saltação (Casa70, Lisbon). In 2024 she takes part in the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, “Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere”, and will also occupy the Video Room at the São Paulo Museum of Art – MASP.
