HJP (b. 2000, Lisbon) is an Angolan  artist-researcher dissecting philosophical, scenographic and architectonic frameworks in relation to enacted modes of power, moral codes and Christian discipleship. 

His practice seeks to push boundaries between visual media and social architectures, employing still and moving images, art installations and sound-based performances as sites of contestation, re-memory and testimony.

While J. Paris’s ongoing Investigation looks at the intricacies tied between stigmatised social experiences and modernity. He is interested in immersing modes of historiography; archiving regenerative notes.
