I work with context-responsive artistic situations, collective formats, public performance, walking, dialogue, publishing and forms of gathering. Across these forms, hospitality practices offer a way of thinking through invitation, encounter and being together, while opening questions around migration, publicness, representation and institutional critique. Decolonial and anti-racist perspectives inform this work, shaping my attention to access, language, cultural agency, expertise and care, as well as to the uneven conditions through which people are received, recognised or expected to account for themselves.

Collaboration is integral to my work. I develop projects in dialogue with artists, students, researchers, institutions, local organisations and other participants. A project’s form and direction often emerge through the conversation, exchange and shared work of these collaborations, bringing different experiences, knowledge and ways of working into the process. Earlier collective projects include AFTERWORKS, with Andreas Engman and Rose Borthwick, and Public* Display* of Actions* (P*D*A*), with MC Coble, Jeuno JE Kim and Andreas Engman.

Since 2017, I have led Commissioning and Curating Contemporary Public Art at HDK-Valand, University of Gothenburg. My teaching and supervision address place and context analysis, commissioning models, collective mapping, selection processes, feasibility, budgeting, project organisation, and the development of temporary and permanent artistic work in public contexts. Alongside this, I teach across fine-art programmes in artistic practice, collaboration, public presentation, professional development and exhibition-making.

My work moves between research, workshops, collective mapping, editorial development, exhibition production, institutional collaboration, public programming, and advisory and jury work. Across these settings, I am interested in the processes that surround artistic commissions and exhibitions: how a context is approached, how a project takes form, how responsibilities and resources are negotiated, and how artistic work is produced, encountered, maintained or revisited.

I am drawn to questions that arise when public concerns encounter institutional authority: when everyday experiences of a place, memories, conflicts, care and local knowledge enter public discussion and meet the frameworks of commissioning, planning, funding and cultural administration. I am interested in what happens through these encounters: what is translated, set aside, redirected or allowed to remain unresolved. In my work, I develop situations in which different forms of knowledge, responsibility, disagreement, opacity and refusal can be held in relation without being forced into a shared account.

In recent years, collective walking and score-based work have become key methods in my artistic practice. Through invitations, provisional maps, dialogue, material propositions and editorial traces, I create situations that attend to movement, translation, witness, opacity and withdrawal. They offer temporary ways of encountering a place in which different relations, experiences and accounts can be voiced, tested, held in tension or left unresolved.
