RESEARCH INTERESTS

Since earning her degree from the London College of Communication, University of the Arts London, in 2019, she has actively participated in residencies and collaborated on projects with various cultural and scientific institutions. Her artistic approach is enriched by her background as a sociologist and political scholar, enabling her to explore historical, social, and political issues from multiple perspectives. Her previous experiences working with archival collections, such as those at the Women's Library at the London School of Economics (UK), the Blinken Open Society Archives (Hungary) and the Kazerne Dossin( Belgium) have equipped her with the skills needed for thoughtful research and innovative experimentation. She aims to transform research insights into compelling artistic expressions, ultimately contributing to the broader dialogue between various disciplines: photography, sound, and writing. She is working on the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) archival collection this year. This radio is one of the institutions created during the Cold War, and it is now threatened with closure following the order of March 14, 2025, signed by the American president, Donald Trump.
