I thrive on collaboration and exploring language, culture, and human connection. I rarely work alone, preferring to collaborate with other creatives or create participatory projects.
Since the early 2000s, my artistic practice has focused on experimental, interdisciplinary, performance-based projects, that often involve diverse social groups and cultures. I use participatory methods to connect people outside the arts to the creative process. I have conducted several outreach activities to encourage active cultural expression among disadvantaged children and adults (not depicted on this website).
I have developed numerous participatory projects focusing on socially relevant issues that can be categorized as follows:
- Collections, archives, and cultural identity
- Access to culture / cultural heritage
- Interpersonal communication and understanding
- Intercultural spaces and conversations across genres/fields
Recently, I have created lecture performances that explore key issues in cognitive science, such as cultural transmission (in Learning Machines) and “mattering theory” (The Mattering Instinct), by making these concepts accessible through performative and visual media.
