I Am (2021)

The exhibit, “I Am,” invited the visitor to explore the question of identity by examining consciousness, genetics, and our role in society. Rooted in the IB’s theme of “self-discovery”Who We Are”, this interactive journey connects our inner essence with how we express ourselves and impact the world. Through hands-on installations, students and visitors could reflect on who they are in today’s interconnected world.

The Stars Are Made of Clouds (2015)

A science-based play fully created by a kindergarten class from a low income community of Niterói in Rio de Janeiro. These young students planned the set and costume design, the songs, what part each one would do… all this from an initial provocation I made to them: “the stars are made of clouds”.

Home – Shelter From The Void (2019)

“Home” was an exhibit that explored the complex meaning of home beyond the traditional house. Visitors were invited to reflect on home as a space of comfort, memory, community, and even as part of our bodies. This thought-provoking exhibit challenged us to consider all the forms home can take—as both shelter and connection.
