The topics I tend to work on are often related to food and food-related cultural expressions. so I tend to describe myself as a food-culture researcher and storyteller. In which I see research not as a truth-finding endeavour, where I untangle what the world offers us. Rather, I try to ask questions that help us reflect rethink and redevelop our habits and social structures, trying to gently open up constructs, minds and harts so we can build networks of care and togetherness in ways I couldn’t have imagined by myself.

As a Community artist I evaluate my practice by looking at the level of engagement it facilitates in the making process. What meanings and relations are brought to the surface when we are creative together? The material/performative outcomes of these creative collaborations and their publication can spark curiosity, joy and further research, but are not as essential as the interactions that are infused by the making process.

In this line of thought I developed the following question as a gravitational point around which my creative practices orbit:
