I presently live and work in Curitiba. I have a design degree (1994) and a specialization in Art History (1998) from the Music and Fine Arts School of Paraná. I also have a certificate in African and Afro-Brazilian Culture and History and Culture, Education and Affirmative Action in Brazil from the Tuiuti University of Paraná (2008). I have a Master’s and Doctorate in Education from the Federal University of Paraná (2017). I was the first trans person to earn a doctorate from the Federal University of Paraná, which was founded 105 years ago and is one of the oldest higher education institutions in the country. My master’s thesis discussed the silence around the African and Afro-Brazilian aesthetic in art education and my doctoral dissertation sought to understand the resistance and existence strategies developed by black homosexual teachers during their work. Since the beginning of my work as a “researcher” I have discussed themes related to ethno-racial relations, African Art, Afro-Brazilian Art, gender and sexual diversity. Recently, I have been problematising the tensions between the travesti and black trans woman identities both in gender studies and in social movements, specifically in the black movement. In June of 2018, I was nominated to represent the Post-Graduate Program in Education at the Federal University of Paraná for the CAPES award for best thesis in 2017. I am an activist in the black social movement and the travesti and transexual movement in Paraná.https://sur.conectas.org/en/why-dont-you-embrace-me/ |
