  In an attempt to occupy and decentralize the scene, she created alongside with Carneosso the Mamba Negra collective, an independent brand that offers experiences of artistic multi languages. platforms for diversified artists. Through the making of street events that usually take place in abandoned and uninhabited locations, such as student and artist’s squats, the events become self-manageable festivals that represent and push forward the fights for female representativeness and sexual and gender freedom. This group of artistic paths has come in 2013, and it started as a platform for live and organic music to solidify itself as one of São Paulo’s main electronic music parties and also works as a musical project, agency, visual intervention dispositor, label and radio.
