Teresa Machado

Teresa is an experienced project caretaker, events curator, a story-smeller, and a systems change aficcionada. She is Guerrilla’s communications co-pilot and the editor of the storytelling portal The Radicals. She helps build the collective muscle of municipalism at the EMN – particularly through her indispensable work with the feminisation of politics collective. She digs food culture and subversive art, likes to get baked while listening to Chet Baker and reading Sara Ahmed. At large because of systemic conditioning, Teresa is sometimes haunted by her and our apparent lack of creativity to think that ‘another way is possible’. She finds soothing to experiment with radical imagination, shifting the focus to process rather than result. She identifies as a she that is home to a we, referring to the multitudes of emotional layers that reveal her selves. She lives in Berlin but is physiologically and emotionally dependent on the southern light, which is why she regularly returns to her homeland, Portugal.
