[finisˈtɛrra] is the mythology of a place that evokes the end of the world. It's also the name of this project, which uses listening as a tool to imagine what will exist beyond that end. Believing in futures of inclusive narratives, where the human does not occupy the central narrative, and through a speculative and interdisciplinary approach, [finisˈtɛrra] convokes practices and theories to enunciate possible ‘futures of the future’.

Interdisciplinary artist, her practice articulates installation, performance and research, mobilising discourses on material ecologies. The key elements of her practice concern relational architectures and the performative aspects of ‘listening’, ‘seeing’, ‘imagining’ and ‘documenting’.In her career she highlights the performance “Aurora” (Alkantara); the film “Headless Men” (FCSH/Doc); the publication “Ossu” (PEGADA-Forum Dança); and the listening session “Resonating Islands” (Arquipélago).
