Visual artist, filmmaker, and performer. She holds a PhD in Contemporary Art from the College of Arts at the University of Coimbra; a Master’s in Intermedia Visual Arts from the University of Évora; a degree in Sculpture from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Lisbon; and an Advanced Course in Individual Artistic Project from Ar.Co.

Her work focuses on the everyday and its mapping, the significance of common objects in constructing self-representation, identity, gender issues, memory, post-memory, and color. These themes are materialized through various media: installations, objects, photography, film, textiles, and performance.

Her first documentary feature, “¿De qué casa eres?”, was supported by ICA and RTP.
