Clara is a queer/nonbinary Venezuelan documentary photographer and filmmaker based in Oakland, California who shines a loving light on transformative community work in the world. They blend their academic training in oral history and political economy with their cinematographic eye for the relationalities of care that make and unmake systems of domination. They are working towards their PhD in Geography at the University of California, Berkeley and have showcased their photographic and film work in community screenings and festivals around the Bay Area.

Currently they are working on a collaborative film project with Moms4Housing about the intergenerational lines of care that they have sustained in Oakland, before and after their famous 2019 occupation of a developer-owned house where they asserted that Housing is a Human Right!
