Curatorial researcher
Anmod om et tilbud uden forpligtelse
I work across the fields of art research, urbanism and curating, combining practice-based art programming and research. A major focus of my work is the possibility of art to instigate new imaginaries and intervene into social and political worlds. In my current postdoctoral research project I investigate how art may contribute to the production of urban space by situating itself in local circumstances.

For the period June 2022 to May 2023, I have been on leave from work due to the sudden and acute psychiatric illness of my son. For this reason, I have not been able to carry out research activities. This also means that the planned research publications for this period have been delayed.
