A selection of contributions presented in academic and public contexts, through which I share research and subjects connected to my curatorial practice. The section includes conference papers and invited contributions, as well as activities for broader audiences, such as public conversations and guided tours. These activities reflect different ways of bringing research into public discussion and making specialist knowledge accessible to wider audiences.
