About
Her work explores contemporary issues around care, futurity and algorithmic governance. Through critical research, writing and creative production she aims to make space for other ideas and forms of intelligence, knowledge and wisdom, both human and non-human. Currently, she is exploring the possibilities of mysticism and the occult within the landscape of contemporary techno-politics. In this framework, she took the role of a “digital witch”, reclaiming the archetypal role of the sorceress as a healer, and as a political rebel.
She was a resident at Jan Van Eyck Academie for the 2023-2024 fellowship.
Her work was exhibited internationally, including Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, Het Hem, INDEX Braga Biennal, ADI Design Museum, MU Hybrid Art House, BASE Milano, World Design Embassies, amongst others.
