About Myself...


My name is Rui Tenreiro, I'm Mozambican.
I live in Stockholm, Sweden .

I have published two books, with a third book in the works. I also run a small publisher called Soyfriends.
I have worked with textiles, ceramics, illustration, editing, curating, writing and advertising and film.
However, I've been for the last few years focusing on making books and stories. I also do screen printing
which is often connected with the world within my stories.
