My curatorial practice is deeply informed by radical imagination—a curatorial commitment to envisioning and facilitating alternative ways of thinking, creating, and existing.


My work is rooted in the Mediterranean, a region marked by its layered histories and ongoing migrations. Here, I see the frontier not as a place of division but as a laboratory of coexistence, proposing new political and social structure models. It invites a rethinking of borders, both physical and conceptual, as fertile grounds for utopian experiments. 

        


The place where art projects take shape is essential for me. 
I believe in the value of public spaces, I repudiate cultural heritage as a postcard to be sold to tourists, and I believe in the fundamental relationship that the community of citizens must have with its cultural heritage. Public space is to be investigated in the conflicting nature of the planning of underlying memories in the political contingencies that have traversed the EuroMediterranean geographic and social territory, marking and marching militarized borders and territories.
I believe in a curatorial practice that always continues beyond the pure exhibition dimension but actively works at engaging the public. 

For this reason, my projects are always accompanied by a public program to unpack the artists' research and bring it closer to the public—In fact, I consistently devise, together with the artists a series of workshops, talks, lectures, and experiences that I like to target for different audiences: children, adolescents, adults, families, older people, and specific micro-communities.  
This modality is essential to ensuring that the work of art is not only the ultimate goal of the creative process but also an activating device of social engagement practices. In this sense, curatorial practice intersects with pedagogy, as the creative process aims to raise awareness and foster critical thinking through the experience of the artwork.
