She is excited to join this important project, that will support a transnational and interdisciplinary network of artists, who are encouraged to create plural narratives while surfacing dynamics of colonial legacies in Europe. It is about standing for new collective reimagining of ways of knowing and practicing, to encourage opening of new perspectives and to challenge the polycrisis we are living in.
