I am a transdisciplinary artist of Mediterranean origin, living and creating in Barcelona. I am rooted in contemporary dance and since 2007 I have been expanding outward cultivating an ecosystem of visual, performative, and social practices. My work moves fluidly across textile art and embroidery, performance and dance, collage, installation, and community-driven projects, and It is often marked by autobiographical tensions and the lingering shadows of Western culture. I draw inspiration from anti-imperialist and feminist thinkers, alongside themes of ecology, ancestrality and clothing as a social layer. Through my work I attempt to rethink our being in the world and rediscover wonder. In the last few years I have developed experiences in body-centered therapy.
My work has been presented at institutions such as the Charleroi Dance Biennial, the Brussels Lace and Fashion Museum, the Choreographic Center of Rio de Janeiro, the National Museum of Natural Sciences of Lisbon, Ca2M (Madrid), the Vorres Museum (Athens), and CED, MACBA (Barcelona), among others.
Since 2024, together with Lamine Ndiaye, I have been part of Deffndamn, a transracial and cross-disciplinary alliance that embraces art as a space for disrupting power structures and practicing forms of freedom and solidarity.
