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.
HJP is an artist-researcher dissecting philosophical, scenographic and architectonic frameworks in relation to [enacted] modes of power, moral codes and Christian discipleship. My practice seeks to push boundaries between visual media and social architectures by means of image-making, installations, performance, archiving and sound composition as sites of contestation, re-memory and testimony. 

While my ongoing Investigation looks closely at the intricacies [tied] in-between stigmatised Black experiences and modernity — I am interested in framing imperial technologies of violence and censorship in order to situate immersing modes of historiography, performativity and reinstitution: Coding & decoding semantics of intimacy bypassing public consciousness as well as authorship surpassing state authority.
