For visual artists, light serves as both a brushstroke and a canvas, and influences everything they make.

Alba Londres Magazine

I am very excited to have my work included in issue 08 of Alba Londres magazine, which is dedicated to explore Brazilian contemporary feminist poetics. Latin America has a very high prevalence of gender violence, with Brazil occupying recently the fifth position in the world ranking of female murders. This special edition aims to reflect on this alarming violence against women in Brazil, and on how Brazilian women poets reflect about the theme in their writing. The issue will be launched in two venues in London:

March 8, 19:00-22:00h at Ikletik (Old Paradise Yard ' 20 Carlisle Ln / Royal Street corner / Archbishop's park, London SE1 7LG)

March 9, 18:00-20:00h at the Brazilian Embassy (Galeria 32, 14-16 Cockspur Street)
*The event is open to public, but RSVP is essential to attend the reading at the Brazilian Embassy (culturalbrazil.rsvp@gmail.com)
