About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living, I mean improvising

ABOUT ME

Si es verano, ahora me encuentras en Barcelona. Si es invierno (occidental) es posible que me encuentres en cualquier otra parte buscando calor, actualmente será seguramente algún país de África Occidental: Mali, Senegal...
Soy una persona inquieta, extrovertida, dinámica, lenta, creativa, que disfruta enormemente de todo lo que recibe de la naturaleza. Aprovecho cuando estoy en ciudad para alimentarme de expresión artística y eventos contraculturales, cine de autor, teatro independiente, música música música.. y para disfrutar de mis barras de bar preferidas, de las plazas y calles cerveceras, de mis amigxs y de la noche urbana.
Me motivan: el mar, las periferias, la música de raíces negras (eso es, toda), el planeo de un pájaro o la vida que pasa mientras estoy preocupada por el dinero, las historias sencillas (en forma fílmica, literaria, titiritera), los procesos migratorios, las mujeres, el pez pequeño, la gente de mi barrio.

PHILOSOPHY

Deconstrucción y amor a tutiplén.
