> I am a visual artist, a filmmaker and a doctor in Film Studies.
My work stands at the nexus of artistic research and refugee studies. It aims to explore new visual ways to narrate contemporary migrations.
I have been working as a postdoctoral research assistant at Oxford Department of Politics and International Relations. Recently, I have been tutoring and lecturing European Cinema at Oxford Faculty of Medieval and Modern Languages. I have also received postmaster accreditation after a training for professional artists at Sweden’s Royal Art Academy.
My research has been widely published in peer-reviewed publications such as Interventions. International Journal of Postcolonial Studies, Convergence: The International Journal of Research into New Media Technologies and Bloomsbury London. My artworks have been presented at Wolfson College Oxford, Nuit Blanche Paris and Stockholm Sergel’s Square.
As a Visiting Researcher at Maison Française of Oxford, I have been conducting the webinar New Imaginaries of Migration together with anthropologist and filmmaker Corinne Fortier.
> This webinar has been turned into a monthly newsletter, please contact me to be signed up.
> Currently, I am involved into the Marie Curie funded project Fishers of Corpses. An Anthropological Archive of Border Communities and their Responses to Migrants’ Deaths in the Central Mediterranean through Art and Ethnography led by Dr Alessandro Corso.
> I would love to collaborate to more European funded projects as a visual artist, an artistic research expert or a visual image analyst. Access my CV here.
