Throughout her career, Alfes has counted on art: music and expressionist painting have been the foundation bridges in her multidisciplinary journey: In 2016 she launched the album GENAU by GEMA in partnership with the German Holger Mertin – a respected ethnomusicologist/sociologist and philosopher at the Frankfurt University, in original compositions uniting Brazilian rhythms and contemporary percussion. Alfes has also attended NAS – National Arts Strategies, developing the project: The Ballad of Frank Walter – in honor of the Caribbean artist´s 100th birthday.

To evolve her philosophies with method, last year Alfes has applied at Harvard to training in higher teaching - where she initiated ViSP-Lab conceptual development: a framework validated through the institution: applied cyberpsychology toward metacognition´s evolution in the age of AI.
