I am a curator, researcher, and writer and work for Manifesta (European Biennial of Contemporary Art). I will be living in Mexico City from July until November 2019 and in Pristina, Kosovo, from November 2019 on.

I graduated in art history and literary studies, while working as research assistant during the development of the recently published Encyclopedia of Romantic Nationalism (2018). I am currently finishing the rMA Art Studies/Artistic Research at the University of Amsterdam, writing my thesis on the understandings and ideologies of energy in modern industrialised/(post-)industrialised societies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
