I am an architect and spatial researcher based in Berlin and Santo Domingo. My research investigates the social dynamics behind spatial production, the movement of subjects across territories, the spaces they find themselves interacting with, and the narratives that surround them. 

My doctoral research examines plural methodologies and epistemologies for investigating how space is assembled in a transcalar manner by focusing on the spatialization of practices of care and social reproduction in plantation territories in the Caribbean. 

I am part of the collective spatial:cru. There, we use critical pedagogies of co~creation, re:cognition, and (un)learning to question dominant structures of knowledge and oppressive spatial relations while articulating practices of collaboration.

don’t wash your dirty laundry outside

As many other (un)paid care-works, laundry has always been identified as a female responsibility.
Traditionally, depending on where the laundry was being done, it promoted conditions for socializing and developing kinship among female care-workers. An opportunity to alleviate struggles of daily life by sharing stories and common struggles.

By appropiating for a weekend  Lausitzer Platz in Berlin, don’t wash your dirty laundry outside became an open invitation to feel free to be vulnerable, to complain, and to share (or not) common struggles while doing laundry together.
