About

I am a journalist and artist with a passion for contemporary art, politics & the environment. I have worked for media such as BBC World Service (Spanish Section) and Telesur, a TV company.  I produced a radio programme called "Venezuela a las 2" @ extramedia1.com and wrote cultural and political articles for Literal Magazine in London.My art practice is a multidisciplinary investigation of ideas regardingidentity, otherness, diaspora, hybridity, memories and the concept ofhome. Lately I have been showing picrures of the places I have visited, like the Western Sahara and Venezuela.In the last years I have been involved in charity fundraising, raising funds for charities such as Medical Aid for Palestinians, Sandblast (helping Saharawi refugees) and Tomasote, an agrarian collective in Venezuela. I co produce with Adam Feinstein a cycle of Latin American films @ The Garden Cinema in Muswell Hill in the summer, with all the profits going to charityI am also the director of the documentary “A letter from Venezuela” (2019).Next year I am going again to Venezuela with cameraman Alan Gignoux to film what is going on there.
