I have a teaching experience of nearly 20 years in both informal and formal education settings across different countries – Mozambique, The Netherlands, Brazil, USA, Portugal and Sweden. I have taught multiple subjects such as drawing, spatial practices, installation practices, seminars on art concepts, exhibition practices, and film production.

My teaching seeks to promote new forms of visual practice, performance and writing approaches that question how image-making processes counter politics of invisibility by shaping an ethics of listening.

This course is an opportunity for students to pursue an investigative artistic project under the broad heading of “hidden histories” through processes of fine art, photography, film, curating and other arts practices.

The word “history” is used here in the broadest sense and ranges in meaning from questions of myth and story-telling to personal memory; from archival practices to questions of place, identity and future becoming; from micro-histories to histories of affect and amnesia.
