Junior Barros aka BIXA PRETTA is a non-binary person born in the coastal region of São Vicente, near São Paulo. Trained in Human Resources Management, Junior has forged a path of resistance and reinvention, passing through sectors such as offshore hospitality and team management, yet always with a deep commitment to social change. Building on their experience coordinating social projects in the favelas of São Vicente, they see their shows, performances and parties as a powerful form of political and cultural expression. As a Drag Queen, their art is an instrument of resistance, challenging social norms and opening space for marginalised bodies and voices.
