Profile
I am an art critic, curator, and doctoral researcher at the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis. My research is situated within the field of geography of art. My doctoral project, under the supervision of Margriet Schavemaker and Noa Roei, focuses on the intersection of exhibition studies and politics of space. It examines how space is imagined and practiced through exhibitionary strategies.
