participation-based artistic editorial project

 

Driven by an interest in the politics of the urban fabric, its fractures, and modes of representation, she approaches artistic production as both a witness to temporary experiences and a tool for shifting and reassigning meaning within everyday language.

 

Through dialogical practices and spatial installations, drawing and counter-mapping, micro-publications and experimental archiving, her research explores imaginary spaces and narratives emerging between lived spaces, lived-in spaces and personal experiences, moving between individual artistic production and the care of collective projects.

 

Rooted in her experience in education, museum mediation, and social assistance projects in border areas, her work takes on a processual form, giving life to interventions that inhabit liminal spaces and unfold through encounter. Beyond their material form, the works aim to transform the contexts that host them, inviting engagement, exploration, and recognition.

 

In a world shaped by the functionalization of space and structured according to logics of linguistic and cultural separation and discrimination, artistic research, freed from the demands of productivity, can rethink the canons of reality, reintegrate practices of play, and celebrate temporality, mobility, irony, and the imagination
