Public spaces, people, and empowerment are the three materials that drive my research, somewhere where design, scenography, artivism, and social studies meet.
As far as I remember, I've always crafted. I drew, painted, and participated in schools' art workshops. In addition to that, my relationship with my creativity increased when I discovered ceramic sculpting. This led me to four years of design studies in Art School in France. There, my passion for volumes transformed into a playful approach, where volumes perform space. Connected to my former body's researches, I wished to question the relationship between one's body and the space one interacts with.
During these years, I introspectively observed myself. Intellectually, I was becoming a woman, but my physical relationship to my own body was still constrained by social stigmas. Thus, I decided to dive into the complex history of females body representations throughout history, from the outside to the inner and personal gaze. As my perception evolved, my reflection embraced a broader spectrum of practices and spaces of bodily expressions. In opposition to the private body's space, I observed a general and mandatory normativity of bodily expressions in public space.
Therefore, I moved on to a broader reflection of public space bodily practices and decided to orient myself in a more sociological and ethnographical approach to the question. By moving to Denmark's capital city, Copenhagen, I further developed this reflection by analyzing different approaches to public space practices. From participatory design for public spaces, site-specific art performances to the unconventional street reclaim of activism practices, I research the place of individuals as a tool to create better social relationships by creating bottom-up urban planning.
