A little bit more about me
I am driven by a desire and commitment to gender justice, intersectional equality and decolonial feminist epistemologies. I have worked on topics of feminicide, prevention of violence against women, gender norms and creative resistance in Latin America.
A first generation university graduate with a PhD in Culture Studies, over 15 years experience with civil society organisations, 20+ years in dance and nearly a decade working with photography and video - I bridge academia, non-profit and creative sectors.
I am passionate about subjective and embodied practices and enjoy working closely with others to produce co-creative and collaborative research and projects.
The founder of Feminist Visions a digital co-creative platform amplifying feminist visualities and voices from around the world, I seek to produce and share alternative forms of knowledge and feminist expression.
British-French in origin, I have lived in the UK, Brazil, Portugal and Spain and speak English, Portuguese and Spanish. I am currently based between Madrid and London and I am an active member of the European EADI Gender Justice Working Group.
I am open to opportunities, collaborations and creating future possibilities together.
