Tulasi Resende is a psychologist and freelance photographer from Rondônia, Brazil. She is an Indigenous activist who has worked for social movements across Latin America and Brazil.

Since 2019, she has worked with the Madeira Vivo Institute in the organization of workshops to educate Indigenous, traditional, and mining communities on the right to Free, Prior and Informed Consent (FPIC) (ILO c.169), which allows Indigenous people "to give or withhold consent to a project that may affect them or their territories," according to the website for the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

She also hosts photography workshops with the Mura people, a community living along the Trans-Amazonian highway in the state of Amazonas. She has participated in Brazilian exhibits, including the Fotografia de Paranapiacaba festival.
