I like to see, I like things that are hidden from light. I like to be involved in the space, I like to intervene in the city. The urban space is my territory, the city invits me to work. My main idea is the permanent global war, which takes place every day in cities full of misery. The materials I use are usually textiles. I try to recycle as much as I can becuase I like to give new life to things. Sometimes they are sewn by hand, others by machine.
My issues are complex. Visual stories about cities, urban speculation, urban poverty and gender differences. The challenge is to generate empathy. The thesis is that the loneliness that lives in modern cities is not accidental, rather it is the result of a reconfiguration of the city that seeks to isolate the individual in order to govern. My challenges are to create empathy, raise awareness, to smile at the stranger when we go into the subway.
I like working in teams, with like minded people. DIY Sextoys is one of my favorite projects. Workshops as a form of performance, where the base is the politics of the body. DIY Sextoys empowers people to build their own toys and reflect on tastes and desires. It works on three axes, crafts, communication technologies and sexuality.
Currently in India, I am working on Shanti Sruti, a draft represntación developed individually. The project is to collect images of the transgender movement in India, vectorizing the images and then embroiding with Latin American indigenous art of embroidery on Indian textiles combining both textiles traditions.
