Teaches visual arts at the Superior School of Education, Viseu. Collaborates with the group for cultural exchange IDENTIDADES, in the project Deslocações for the Conceição das Crioulas community, Pernanbuco, Brazil.
Member of several national and international art collectives, such as ZOiNA, Caldeira 213, ROOM, CLANITICA, Ateliers Mentol, Switch Metaphors and Palindromes.
Manages the blogs All My Independent Women, on art and gender, and Porto Público on public space, politics and power; and the exhibition space “Espaço gesto”, Porto.
Exhibiting her work since 1999, on solo and collective exhibitions, she is happier when working collectively.
Her works sometimes strikingly visible sometimes no more than a rumour is concerned on the social constructions that we make and reassert everyday, in the attempt to question and even undermine these constructions. Being those construction gender related, or about European Identity or even the privatization of the public sphere and the notion of citizenship. The viewer, participant or passer-by is normally trapped by the anodyne visual and forms of her work that usually carry less innocent content, into pondering his values and pre-conceptions with what is presented by her work.

Mercado do Bolhão
Oporto's colorful market Located in the heart of the city, this noisy and exuberant market is a sight not to be missed. Located in a two-tier covered building, it sells everything from fresh fruit to household goods. Especially entertaining is listening to the flamboyant fishwives hawking the latest catch in true Oporto spirit, an image that made this market famous all over Portugal.
