About
As a Visual Anthropologist, i am working on an ethnographic short film that combines social research and collaborative filmmaking
Impact
Through intimate storytelling, the film amplifies trans voices often erased from mainstream narratives, revealing resilience, joy, and collective care in the face of systemic violence.
Progress
I’ve completed field research, filmed and edited audiovisual material and now I am applying to festivals
Team
As a visual anthropologist and filmmaker, my practice bridges academia and activism. I’ve worked with trans and queer communities across borders, using visual ethnography to create films to bring social change

The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
