Hi, my name is Lara
Pronouns: She/her
I am a Brazilian interdisciplinary designer and curator, with an MA Curating Contemporary Design from Kingston University in partnership with the Design Museum in London.
The masters was awarded by Chevening, the UK government’s international awards programme aimed at developing global leaders. I was also previously awarded a study abroad scholarship to attend the BA Design at Goldsmiths — University of London.
I am a feminist and I believe in design as a critical and multidisciplinary subject and a tool for reflection and change. I can also bring my holistic thinking, practical and theoretical knowledge of design and research skills into the realm of curating, with interests in the expanded field of curating, gender and interactive performances.
Besides having worked with design in various contexts and as an art director, I am also very passionate about performance and musical theatre.
