As an African curator  and artist living in Europe, I aim to bridge cultures, identiteis  and showcase the rich heritage and contemporary narratives of our communities in present time. With a focus on art, history, and social impact, my fucos is to propose experiences that celebrate diversity and foster understanding. Join me on this journey of exploration and connection, as we highlight the voices and stories that define our shared experiences. 

I am a curator and artistic director of the project "Black Skin, White Masks: The Black Body in Presence" (EGEAC, Lisbon), and curator of the exhibition project "Difficult Memories and Decolonization in Portugal" (Plano Nacional das Artes, Lisbon), in collaboration with Paulo Freire Institute Berlin and Goethe Institute Lisbon. The project, taking place in 2024-25, deals with the work of memory through the Arts in Portugal. During my MA on African Verbal and Visual Arts at U.Bayreuth (UB, Germany), I became interested in developing innovative methods to rethink the museum space. At UB, I collaborate in several research projects, such as “Black Atlantic Revisited – African and South American UNESCO - World Heritage Sites and ‘Shadowed Spaces’ of Performative Memory” and “Multiple Artworks – Multiple Indian Ocean”.
