Biography (50 words) A Contemporary artist with a Fine Arts degree by the University of Seville and currently undertaking an MA in Animation at London College of Communication.

Director statement max 250 words: Playing forward is a short film inspired by the Wellcome Library collection and explores the topic ‘The Body’, focusing in the question ‘How has the body been perceived in the past?’
Covering the period comprised between the 1860s and 1967, it overviews the changes experienced in the way women were allowed to play sports or practice physical exercise as a reflection of women’s role in society over the years. With this piece I aimed to maintain an aesthetic that could remind us of the past and the images reproduced in the Sport Manuals for Girls from the early XIX century.
As well as in the animation, the music drives us through the different periods of time and their changes.
