About

I'm an Animation Professor at LUCA School of Arts, campus C-mine in Genk, Belgium. I teach at the Re:Anima Joint Master in Animation and I'm a senior researcher at the Genk Research Unit, in the 'Critical reflections of and through animation' cluster. My research interests include philosophy of Technics, power relations inscribed in and reinforced by technical objects, and decolonial perspectives in animation. Previously, I was an Animation Professor at Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), in Brazil. MFA and PhD by the Graduate Program in Arts at EBA/UFMG. I'm also a free software advocate, animator, rigger and I also like to code. You can see some of my works and know a bit more about me at:

2008-Jul-11: AnimaMundi

Begins today the 16th AnimaMundi, the biggest animation festival in Latin America.

It happens in two places: from today (July, 7th) to 20th in Rio de Janeiro and from July 23th to 27th in São Paulo. If you have the chance to go there, don't miss it at all. Check here the full schedule of events and screenings. =)

Unfortunately I won't go this year because of my job, but I went in a past edition and I don't want to miss the next year.

UPDATE:

For Portuguese speakers, there is this very cool article on the festival
