Antes que eu soubesse is a multi-part project exploring the lives of my grandmother and two great-aunts — women whose experiences of marriage, motherhood, and domestic labor shaped my understanding of femininity long before I knew how gender would be assigned to me. Through video, sound, textile work, and archival-like interventions, I examine how the expectations placed on the women of my family produced a form of inherited femininity that was projected onto me as a child, often before I had any agency over my own identity.
The project weaves memory, fabric, and voice into a single emotional structure: a study of lineage, silence, survival, and the echoes of roles performed across generations.
