My research examines graffiti art, youth cultures, and their relation to transformations of public life and urban space in contemporary South American cities.
I received my PhD from the Centre of Latin American Studies, University of Cambridge, and I am an Associate Research Fellow of the Institute of Latin American Studies (ILAS) in the School of Advanced Study, University of London.
As an urban ethnographer, I am involved in long-term ethnographic research on graffiti art in the cities of São Paulo, Brazil and Santiago, Chile. Prior to this, I conducted shorter periods of fieldwork on street art in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and on the social impact of drought in Canindé in the Brazilian northeast. My current research centres on graffiti muralism and cultural politics in Lima, Peru.
