HJP is an Angolan art and research practitioner 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 engagement, employing still and moving images, multimedia installations, placemaking, and sound-based performances as sites of contestation and testimony.

While J. Paris’s ongoing Investigation explores the entanglements between stigmatised social experiences and contemporary built-environments. He is particularly interested in immersing modes of historiography: archiving through regenerative and hospitable notes.

Confluencia

6:38 mins
Confluencia explores the overlaps between branding and identity, contemplating the relationship between Black male bodies and access to autonomies - whether that means a contradiction or a re-connection of parallels. As we watch we're exposed to a multilingual conversation, incorporating Krump dance signals and personal voice notes.
