	about&#38;nbsp;
I am an art curator, researcher and writer.
My practice focuses on curious, joyful and conscious experimentation with concepts, actions and projects through ecopedagogical, site-responsive, collective and collaborative configurations. I curate exhibitions, (un) do research, design socio-ecologically engaged artistic projects, develop public programmes, and craft workshops. I also advise artists, institutions and organisations. I like to write about critical ecology, environmental&#38;nbsp; pedagogies, research methodologies and architecture. 
Since 2024, I live in a small village in the mountains of Pafos in Cyprus, bridging my interests and capacities with site-specific and land-based needs, while grounding my curatorial practice in making things with/for our multispecies communities. I’ve been learning how to forage, how to turn an abandoned garden into a permaculture garden, and how to read the land and its water cycle.&#38;nbsp; &#38;nbsp;&#38;nbsp;

studies&#38;nbsp;My first degree was in History of Art (University of Glasgow, 2015) followed by several years of experience in various positions in the arts sector, including galleries, private collections, not-for-profit spaces, self-organised projects and international exhibitions. In 2021, I decided to ground my curatorial practice in political ecology, decolonial and posthumanist critical pedagogies, and socially-engaged artistic practices that work towards a just, socio-ecological transition. I continued with studies in Education for Sustainable Development at the University of Gothenburg, and a course on&#38;nbsp;Collective Practices II: Symbiotic Organisations,&#38;nbsp;at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm.&#38;nbsp;
(re)search&#38;nbsp;At the intersection of these two study programs I initiated a research project titled Systems, Pedagogies and Practices for Learning on a Damaged Planet, generously supported by the Kone Foundation. This practice-based research inquires into the ethical, onto-epistemological and practical aspects of cultivating and promoting an ecopedagogical praxis within and through collective artistic practices.&#38;nbsp;
At the same time, it studies the limitations and possibilities of higher education and art institutional frameworks in implementing and permanently hosting ecopedagogical programming. The research project unfolds in Cyprus, Italy, Sweden and Finland, while also being inspired by several collective efforts elsewhere.&#38;nbsp;
