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.

Monte de Estradas

12 mins


The moving image examines the enduring impact of colonialism in Lisbon, revealing how power structures enforce marginalization while subtle acts of resistance—through sound, care, and solidarity. Monte de Estradas attends realities of labourers who have shaped the city and displaced communities grappling with inherited colonial injustices. Through imagery, sound and narrative that chronicle an inquiry interrogating power and recalling new paths toward justice and social transformation.
