Profile

Ana Raquel Machava is an architect and urbanist with a special interest in urban interventions that bring together the youth and the arts in the production of knowledge. Their works include: interventions in alternative and abandoned public spaces, exploring themes such as informality, improvisation, and experimentation, creating spaces for spontaneous encounters as an alternative way of consolidating youth-led artistic movements, and using the city as a stage. This occupation of public spaces creates an opportunity to affect society by inviting citizens to question their relationship with urban spaces and inspiring actions that open doors to a more fair, democratic, autonomous, and dynamic future.
