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.

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.
