HJP is an Angolan art and research practitioner dissecting philosophical, architectonic and scenographic 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, using mixed media installations, placemaking, dramaturgy and still-moving-images as sites of contestation.

Supported by the Sir Frank Bowling Scholarship, Paris’s ongoing doctoral investigation traces the entanglements between stigmatised contemporary built environments and social experiences. It attends to immersive modes of historiography, archiving through regenerative and hospitable notes.
