Tatiana is the mother of Irê and non-binary. She is a writer, composer, singer, translator, and editor at Cartonera Padê – Black/LGBTQIA+ authors. She celebrates the forces of Wind and Earth that govern her Orí in syntactic, phonetic, semantic, and affective disarchitectures. Those Disarchitectures form the spine of sound and silence, the foundation of plexuses, planets, and the words in her poems and songs. Her poetic work, musical production, and research delve into meaning, melody, and noise in a looping manner, creating a reengineering of themes such as dreaming, affection, blackness, cerrado (Brazilian savanna), sea, and motherhood. She has published 14 books of her own, and her work “palavra preta” was a finalist for the Jabuti Prize for poetry in 2022. She has translated authors such as Audre Lorde, Gloria Anzaldúa, and Renee Gladman. She is the creator of the first “Slam das Minas” (Slam of Women) in Brasília (DF), and the creator of the first training on white privilege and whiteness in Brazil.

She conceptualized the term “cuírlombismo,” opening a new path for the interpretation, critique, and diffusion of black LGBTQIA+ aesthetic productions. She is a reference in academic research in Brazil, as well as international, regarding sexual dissidence and diasporic gender desertions. Her essay on the subject, published in 2019 by the São Paulo-based n-1 publisher, has been translated into Spanish, English, and French, and it reframes paradigms of research on contemporary black queer poetry, “disrupting the white colonial paradigm of pain.”
