My Story
As Social Designer my conceptual artwork engages with contemporary global challenges such as environmental, social and political issues. Recent works engaged in environment, dementia, ageism, health, urban change, democracy, racism, right-wing populism, migration, postcolonial criticism and innovative strategies on different perspective taking, interdisciplinary collaboration.
