Rebeca Chu is a london-based Brazilian writer writing in English and Portuguese. She’s graduated as a creative non-fiction writer from the Royal College of Art in London. She’s also a researcher, an educator and founder of UnfinishedWord©, an art studio focused on promoting social engagement & inner transformation through EngagedWriting©.

Her passion lies in the power of the creative mind aroused by literary forms as artistic constrictions as well as the self-care and healing power of writing as a practice . She writes about care, attention, boundaries, being with others, memory, the marvelous, gestures, intensity, looking, time, transcendence & emptiness. Her practice blends different literary forms to a varying degree while exploring overlapping possibilities and often insisting on a deconstructionist attitude towards language.

She believes writing is all about an on and off the page encounter. She’s passionate about collaborating with other artists to respond authentically to other artistic works in the realms of architecture, photography, music, dance & design. She creates artistic programs, runs workshops and offers mentorship to anyone who wishes to engage powerfully with creativity in a safe atmosphere where vulnerability is the driving force.

As a researcher her work has been appearing in Journals and Magazines in Latin America and the US since 2003. She’s the author of the book Contemporary Model of the Brazilian Management Style and of several book chapters and articles about culture, art, the psychology of human behavior and complexity sciences. Rebeca received her PhD degree in culture and complexity sciences from Fundação Getúlio Vargas in Brazil, as well as a MSc and a BA from the same institution.

As an educator she’s teached for more than 15 years at postgraduate level on subjects such as complex thinking, psychology of human behavior and human development, mostly at Business School São Paulo where she’s also been Deputy Dean.

Her collection of essays on the subject of secrets & the work of painter Hilma af Klint will soon be published and available. When she’s is off the page, she can be found at a football match with her daughter or at the piano being tricked by some Bossa Nova jazz chord.
