Curator | Writer | Researcher |

I’m a curator, writer and researcher. I lead curatorial and research-based projects that investigate the intersections of identity, displacement, and belief systems. By treating curation as a tool for collective knowledge-building, I transform complex narratives of Otherness into dialogue-driven curatorial experiences. My practice is defined by a rigorous, collaborative approach and a "shared gaze" —a method shaped by my Neapolitan background that prioritizes community engagement and intellectual depth to challenge dominant cultural narratives.

My approach is informed by a a BA in Comparative Languages and Cultures from L’Orientale, University of Naples, and an MA in Art Education in Curatorial Studies at Zurich University of the Arts.

what I do:

  • Exhibition Curation

    I design and execute exhibitions, events, and curatorial programs with conceptual clarity and organizational precision. I have xperience in developing curatorial narratives, planning spatial layouts, and managing all practical aspects from budgeting to logistics.

  • Research

    I specialize in translating complex academic research into engaging public content. By centering non-Western and diasporic histories, I produce accessible narratives that maintain the integrity and complexity of marginalized voices.

  • Collaboration with Artists

    I am experienced in commissioning artworks, collaborating with artists to develop new projects and facilitating creative processes, supporting experimentation, and translating artistic visions into realized exhibitions or projects.

  • Collaborative Practices

    I design participatory processes that center listening and dialogue. My approach prioritizes the safety and vulnerability of participants, building inclusive environments where artists and communities can navigate complex themes together.

  • Exhibition Design

    I have practical skill in planning, arranging, and installing exhibitions. From spatial layout to hands-on setup, ensuring that artworks, objects, and narratives are presented thoughtfully, cohesively, and in dialogue with the audience and space.

  • Research & Documentation

    I handle the research and documentation for every object, looking closely at its history and background, conducting research including historical context and relevant details, to ensure well-documented records.

  • Provenance Research

    I conduct research on artworks and objects to trace ownership history and verify authenticity. I then translate these findings into detailed catalogue entries, pairing accurate descriptions with a deep analysis of the object's origins and archival sources.

  • Mapping Institutions

    I research and analyze cultural institutions and networks to understand their structures, relationships, and modes of operation, identifying connections between curatorial practices and local contexts.

  • Curatorial Writing & Cataloguing

    I lead the research and writing for exhibition catalogues and texts. I am skilled at synthesizing complex curatorial themes into accessible, well-documented texts to enhance the audience’s engagement with the exhibition.
