Introducing Nauseas

Hi Steemers!

I´m a 30 year old female visual artist and political scientist from Caracas Venezuela.

I dig many things in life, and that´s what Im more enthusiastic about Steemit, finally it looks like a place for restless minds like mine obsessed with creating content.

To begin Im going to answer a question I frequently get: "How the ** you ended up becoming a political scientist, after art school?" Well. I live in a very politicized country you´ve might have heard of, the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, in the north of South America, as a teenager I was interested in Anarchism, so I read some Bakunin and listened to some crust punk, after that I got caught up in a wild and vicious skateboarding life, that got me in touch with the the underground of the city, finding out a world beyond my bubble, that as soon as I could, I began documentating.

I studied visual communications for 4 years, when I was about to finish, I found out the design school didn´t have their paperwork right with the Country´s authorities, I was also being heavy bullied by teachers and students for political reasons, so I sued them and left to work. One of my first jobs was as a designer in a government institution, there I learned a lot about what´s going on in my country, I already had that interest as a teenager, so after traveling the whole country documenting the communes, I ended up enrolling to get a degree on political science, wich Im about to finish.

Yes, I traveled the communes, an experience that changed my life and that I´ll hopefully share with you very soon. Besides photography, I also work with graphic design and do a lot of infographics for the best analysis site about Venezuela "Misión Verdad", I love to design posters, sketch hand-written typography, sew to make my own cloth and many many more.
