Graduated in Latin America Cultural Studies from Warsaw University, Poland and PhD in Social Sciences from the University of Brasilia, Brazil. Most of her work is biographical. She explores family relationships, intimacy and daily life aspects. She creates representations of herself as a mother and reflects about how motherhood is inscribed in the female body and how it shapes mother’s identity. She frequently works with her life partner Sávio Freire. They study and successively deepen the condition of the child in contemporary society and its corporeality. In 2016 they published their first book – “Retratos pra Yayá”/ Portraits to Yayá which was presented to the European audience on the Paris Photo in 2017.
