I am an Art historian and professional in Languages and Culture from Universidad de los Andes (Bogotá, Colombia). I have experience in visual research, cultural writing, and educational mediation between art and audiences and I have collaborated with museums and digital projects focused on cultural heritage, interpretation, and accessible communication. Furthermore, I am currently located in São Paulo, Brazil and interested in Brazilian and Latin American art (which I am currently learning more about while living in São Paulo), as well as themes of migration, gender, and cultural mediation.
