BIO
After a long time of searching, wandering and bifurcating through other paths, I have been able to find a small space between film, writing and thinking that excites me, challenges me and allows me to lose myself. Through these intertwined practices, I try to explore structures and possibilities. It is not easy to create from and in Peru, and much less in the film scene that remains conventional, closed, masculine, apolitical, classist, centralist and predictable. My training began in the living room of my house, together with my sisters in a neighborhood in the Port of Callao. The concept of intellectuals living in poverty did not exist in my head at that time, but I think that’s what we were. My maternal blood is from Piura and my paternal blood from Cajamarca. In recent years I have been awarded scholarships in art residencies that have allowed me a privileged place to create and to continue thinking about my projects. Also to build bridges with artists from different parts of the world, which has been fundamental in my own understanding of art and cinema beyond what I can access on a daily basis. I believe in a cinema from the crack, the awkwardness, the error, the doubt. And in the search for other ways of making and thinking that give space to risks. Editing is a language that I’m very interested in exploring and that’s why I also dedicate myself to it. I find exciting the gesture of learning to read not only the material but also the artist and play plastically with it all. I am also a teacher, I advise projects and impart workshops.
