‘’As a curator and writer my practice focuses on the need to create space and time for relationships to emerge between artists, artworks and audiences, as well as the development of artistic and institutional tools in order to read and approach current social and political issues. In this multidisciplinary process I look for interlocutors, collaborators, partners and I become them myself, letting different roles and identities fade into one another. I am particularly drawn to thoughts, objects and words that touch upon matters of language and translation in conjunction with the experience of homeness and belonging.”
