Maria Teresa Braga Bizarria, PhD
Working with feminist and decolonial approaches, I explore the intersections of gender, racial and environmental justice.
Flowing with life, I collaborate with collectives and ephemeral groups to raise awareness and promote women's, ethnic minorities' and nature's rights.
Gardener;
Growing with plants, I reconect and benefit from the healing power of nature.
