About me

I am a Wikimedian since May 2022, editing with my other (and volunteer) account. I am mostly active on Wikipedia in Portuguese language, Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata and Wikisource. I am engajed on reducing knowledge gaps on gender and other cultural issues.

I really believe in Collective Inteligence and I think that citizens' participation in the area of cultural heritage is conditioned both to 1. the access to information about cultural heritage assets and policies, and 2. the right to having their own memories and daily culture respected, recognized, safeguarded and perpetuated.

My work

I am responsible for overviewing partnerships and operations of projects with cultural institutions in the Wikimedia ecosystem.

Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the User Group Wiki Movimento Brasil, and this is the account I try to use for edits or statements I make in that role. However, the User Group Wiki Movimento Brasil does not vet all my activity, so edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of this Wikimedia affiliate.
