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.

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.
