I am a researcher, filmmaker, and photographer. I work at the intersection of visual and cultural studies, Black and Latinx geographies, and photographic and film production.
Thank you for visiting my page! I am a queer & nonbinary Venezuelan-American documentary photographer and filmmaker based in Oakland, California who shines a loving light on transformative community work in the world. I blend my academic training in oral history and political economy with my cinematographic eye for the relationalities of care that make and unmake systems of domination. I am working towards my PhD in Geography at the University of California, Berkeley and have showcased my photographic and film work in community screenings and festivals around the Bay Area.
I grew up as a child of Venezuelan immigrants and have lived in the West, South, and Northeast all before I graduated high school, creating in me a deep reverence for the importance of place in identity, community, and liberatory futures.
