 Visual artist who focuses her work on various issues of Peruvian society, like poverty, exclusion, identity, discrimination and others.  Currently teaches drawing and painting in Fatima's jail.  

About the project: The project involves the creation of a virtual environment, similar to the SIMS game, where users create an avatar and live a parallel life.  The virtual space will represent the city of Lima and its districts, and will incorporate socio-cultural common features of different areas of the local context for his characters: costumes and popular music, colloquial speeches and classifying multicultural terms from a city as Lima is. The system will look like a game but actually disclose relevant information about our cultural identity as a degree of self-acceptance, discrimination, and socio-cultural expectations.
