About me
I am a French curator and researcher based in London. I have collaborated with galleries, institutions and artist-run spaces in the UK and in Europe, including Tate Gallery, Central Saint Martins, Climate Museum UK, Decorative Arts and Design Museum Bordeaux, PADA artists residency among others.
My curatorial practice focuses on gathering voices around contemporary topics including notions of displacement, geographies, unheard voices and climate crisis. My ongoing research focuses on the need for dialogue between the general public and contemporary art, made possible via storytelling and the creation of places for discussion. I have participated in a number of residencies including Global Art Practice in Tokyo, Hong Kong and London as well as PADA studios in Lisbon. I consider the exhibition format as a vehicle for artistic and critical comment on the role of local practices in a globalised world.
