Reading of the day is from my absolute idol Eleonora Belfiore, critically analysing "bullshit" in cultural policy. I aspire to be as badass as her one day

Attended the opening of @rnmmsnnzn.bsky.social new show at AutoItalia. In 2 rooms they have packed so much! Sound practices and curation at their finest beautifully expressing themes of waiting, action & inaction of protest, through speculative futurities.

My #readingoftheday "Cultutes of the Curatorial - Hospitality." Been loving its critical framing of #curation as practice of care & power, hosting and giving.
It adds to my theoretical framework to think about #co-curation in large #museums answering to questions of exhibition performativity.

Hello everyone so excited to connect! I am a socially engaged curator & feminist art writer. I just left Edinburgh for London to start a PhD on the social impact of co-curation in large museums at IWM & UCA via AHRC.
