Curator with expertise in research-driven projects, museum interventions, and public and social engagement. I explore transmission of cultural memory in contemporary artistic practices, with a focus on artwork reproductions and heritaga reimagination.
Thank you 😊
This exhibition really brightened up our windows last year for users inside and people walking by and it was great to have some of the artists as part of our community day in June helping others to create collages 🖼️

A look back on 2024, a year full of enriching collaborations, travels and conversations. I was invited as a guest researcher with the Haute École d’Art et Design (HEAD), Geneva, for the project ‘The Grey Zone of the Original (from Bifaces to NFT)’.
