HJP is a Lisbon-born architecture, art and research practitioner of Angolan heritage, dissecting philosophical frameworks in relation to enacted modes of power, moral codes and Christian discipleship. His work seeks to push boundaries between visual media and socially engaged practices through mixed media installations, placemaking  and dramaturgy as sites of discourse production.

Supported by the Sir Frank Bowling Scholarship, Paris’s ongoing doctoral investigation traces the entanglements between built environments and stigmatised social experiences, attending to immersive modes of historicising.

Founded by J. Paris in 2018, NOSSA FONTE is a Lisbon based project and curatorial practice, situating and nurturing intergenerational knowledge sharing; programming socially engaged and interdisciplinary research initiatives in the city.
In the past we have explored formats such as radio shows, film screenings, public conversations and performances — in means of regenerating epistemic resistance and socio-cultural enactment. 

We have previously been commissioned and have worked with organisations such as Teatro do Bairro Alto, MAAT Museum, Hangar Centro de Investigação Artística, Escola Secundária de Camões, Radio Quantica, MIL Festival, Festival de Política, among others.
