Senior researchers

Lorena de La Luz Berrios Ibacache

I am an autistic woman, cultural manager, rapporteur and expert by experience, with a background in community mental health, human rights, psychosocial disability and territorial work. Her activism has a Latin American and international projection: she is co-founder and co-director of RedEsfera Latinoamericana, promoter of the 1st Orgullo Loco Uruguay and participant in spaces of articulation of the movement Mad Pride/Orgullo Loco in Latin America. She has been an exhibitor in advocacy forums in Mexico, Argentina and other countries in the region, and participates in Latin American and Caribbean networks on disability, climate change and social justice. Her work articulates activism, teaching, research and cultural management from a community, feminist and Latin American perspective.
