I am interested in artistic practices that reflect on aspects of our contemporary society, seeing history as a trajectory towards the future. I understand my professional contribution to be connected to the socio-political environment that I experience in my day-by-day life. From this environment I believe art can serve as a tool — a lens to look through — to challenge our knowledge and perspective. Political, economic and social discourses stand — for me, as a human being and as a cultural operator — at the foundations of my curatorial thinking and professional approach.
