Research

In my research, I examine how contemporary art seeks to answer the ecological and ethico-political issues brought forth by the Anthropocene. I am interested in questions of care and collaboration in art making and research practices, as well as the potential of Multispecies art – art that is done with, rather than of or about nonhuman others –  to cultivate new ways of being, doing and knowing that are crucial for navigating the turbulent times we live in.

The research is supported by Kone Foundation.
