Projects

Pajubá Digital Archive

This digital archive features cultural productions and academic works that center around Pajubá. Pajubá (or Bajubá) is a cryptolect originally developed by Brazilian trans women and travestis to protect themselves from violence and persecution. All metadata in this project is licensed under Creative Commons CC-BY.

Technologies/Methods: CollectionBuilder and d3.js

Collaborators: Dr. Susanna Allés-Torrent and Dr. Steven Butterman (Supervisors)

Digital Mapping Néstor Perlongher’s “O Negócio do Michê”

An interactive StoryMap that digitally reconstructs the São Paulo locations from Néstor Perlongher’s “O Negócio do michê,” restoring details lost in later editions. This project uses open-source mapping tools (LeafLet and OpenStreetMaps) to visualize the spatial sequence of his original ethnography.

Technologies/Methods: Leaflet and OpenStreetMaps

Collaborators: Susanna Allés-Torrent (Supervisor)

Transylvania Witch

Online installation to be played in a loop. The website plays a spell that claims transforming you into a transgender woman. The installation consists of putting it in a public space and observing people’s reaction to the spell. If any of them become a transgender woman, please tell me!

Technologies/Methods: HTML

Non-binary in Binary

Online installation to be displayed in a loop. The website shows a number of non-binary identities (xenogender, mtx, demiboy, etc) converted into binary code. My goal is to reflect how non-binary gender identities cannot be understood in binary logics. This project was exhibited in the Museum of Contemporary Art of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.

Technologies/Methods: HTML and Javascript
