Ivan Jude is a Brazilian-born writer and multidisciplinary artist based in Italy. His work explores themes of memory, migration, mental health, and identity—often told through a queer, neurodivergent lens. He is the author of The Colourblind Grief, Sorry I’m Mad, and Word/Wars, and has contributed to the best-selling anthology Wounds I Heal. Ivan is also the voice behind several popular podcasts including Healing with Jude and Bora pra Europa com Ivanzinho. He studied journalism and creative writing, and his first short film Luz Tropical—a poetic documentary on immigration and belonging—was completed in 2025.
