Camila Costa Digital Archivist

I am a feminist and anti-capitalist archivist raised in the suburbs of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. In the archival field, my work and research are deeply connected to personal archives, community archives and fundamental rights.

Academically, I hold a bachelor’s degree in Archival Science, a specialization in Archives and Human Rights, a master’s and a PhD in Information Science. I have worked as a teacher and researcher in Archival Science and as a professional archivist.

Lately, I have been more interested in the feminist ethics of care theory and how it can transform archival practices – from the way we describe and preserve records to how we care for communities and knowledge itself. I believe archiving can be a transformative, political and ethical act – one that can help sustain collective memory, justice, and solidarity.
