 Situated at the intersection of curating, urban research and teaching, the work engages artistic inquiry and sociopolitical critique. Focus lies on informal urbanisms, crisis geographies, and the politics of spatial agency—attentive to collective forces, fragile infrastructures, and everyday negotiations that shape cities.

With a background in Architecture and Urbanism and a Master’s in Spatial Sociology, experience spans Argentina, Lebanon, and Europe, where questions of access, belonging, and resistance inscribe themselves in lived space. As former Artistic Direction of the German Architecture Center (Deutsches Architektur Zentrum) DAZ in Berlin, curatorial practice re-oriented the institution toward critical urban discourse, situating architecture within the urgencies of politics and social movements.

Teaching engagements at UdK Berlin, TH Lübeck, HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd, and TH Dortmund reflect a commitment to research-driven and collaborative methodologies. Pedagogy is understood as both research and experiment: a space where analytical depth meets speculative practice, opening new imaginaries for collective urban futures.

At its core, the practice is guided by questions of justice, solidarity, and representation—exploring how spaces of constraint can be re-imagined as sites of agency, and how urban realities, in their fragility and multiplicity, invite both critical reading and creative reconfiguration.
