“We wanted to create a piece that could help humanize the victim of a heinous hate crime in Portugal. Focused on the Brazilian society, which shares Gisberta’s nationality and stands as the unfortunate epicenter of Trans assassinations globally for the 14th year running (2023), this art activism initiative seeks to unveil Gisberta’s untold story and raise awareness about the imperative to protect trans individuals worldwide.”

Sérgio Galvão Roxo, Author, to Docubase

Her Name Was Gisberta is a VR documentary that portrays the life and death of Gisberta Salce, a Brazilian Trans woman murdered by 14 young men (12 – 16 years old) in the city of Porto (Portugal) in 2006.

Uniting the knowledge provided by the technique Virtual Reality Perspective Taking, this animated project was created as a tool of education, social intervention and activism against transphobia. Crafted by a trio of queer artists, it utilizes hand drawn textures and its narrated by a Brazilian Trans voice actress.
