Maria Oliver holds a PhD in French philology and has worked as university lecturer, translator and sporadic poet. She has been an activist since 12 years ago, when her uncertainty led her to live with functional diversity and to see the other side of the mirror. Oliver is member of the OVI-Office of Independent Living in Barcelona. Furthermore, she has participated in various cultural projects linked to functional diversity such as "Trèvols de 4 fulles", "Vivir i altres ficcions", "Yes, we fuck", "Nexos", and sexual assistance - "Tus manos, mis manos".
