Curator, independent researcher and non-stop writer, with a PhD on a break. Her research and curatorial practice often focus on fictions, aesthetic politics, speculative design and the socio-political threads of fashion and technology, with a current interest in eco-feminism and worldbuilding. How locality infiltrates the senses and can nurture imaginaries, is an aspect she constantly returns to. She’s been the co-founder of the curatorial collective Aici Acolo, activating unused/ unusual spaces in Cluj; and a fellow of Akademie Schloss Solitude addressing fashion fictions and everyday histories. As a follow-up she initiated Out of Stock, a one-time speculative journal for fashion and design grounded in eastern european sensibilities. She spent 2024 mostly between artistic research projects, in and out Cluj, Bucharest, and Paris for the Cité internationale des arts curatorial research residency. She is the co-ordinator and curator of Sharing Food, Writing Recipes & other non-apocalyptical toolkits, international summer school in Sulina (Danube Delta).
