Lives and works in Montevideo, Uruguay.
She is an artist and curator, trained in the Faculty of Architecture of Montevideo, the Higher School of Architecture of Madrid and the New York University.Researcher of the Fullbright Academic Program, specialized in Architecture and Contemporary Art, she developed her research at the Guggenheim Museum, the Media ArtsCenter and the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York. Associate Artist of the Atlantic Artist Master Program Center for the Arts / ACA-USA. She is an advisor and member of collectives and institutions, national and international.
Her practice is integrated through conceptual strategies, objects, photographs, texts and films in interactive installations and participatory actions. The objective is to put dialogue into works that, in their summation, facilitate and highlights the reading of contemporary problems of diverse scales.
The works act in this case as pieces of a file, where global and local scenarios coexist for decentralize the look and relativize, in a equally poetic than critical, apparent segmentation that can make us believe that a problem is not ours for the simple reason of not being close to your geography, culture or religion. Her work can be understood more as a contextualization of the existence that as a record of it.
