About me
I am graduate from the Courtauld Institute of Art in Art History. My research is focused on Italian Post-War Art and Latin American Ccontemporary art. My dissertation, on the performance artist Regina José Galindo, received a high first (86%). I am also really interested in valuing art-forms that are usually kept outside of the dominant canon, such as food art.
