Curator | Writer | Researcher |

I’m a curator and researcher with a BA in Comparative Languages and Cultures from L’Orientale, University of Naples, and an MA in Art Education in Curatorial Studies at Zurich University of the Arts.

My work moves across curating, writing, and collaborative projects that examine how stories of Otherness take shape through bodies, beliefs, and borders. I see curating as an epistemic act, a way to question dominant narratives, embrace complexity, and think collectively. Each project is a shared process where knowledge grows through dialogue and collaboration, connecting different stories, people, and worlds with a purposeful, focused gaze.

This gaze, layered, attentive, and rooted in my Neapolitan origins, finds an echo in an embroidered image of Saint Lucy, in what resembles a Eucharistic chalice embroidered in the Church of Santa Luciella ai Librai in Naples. 

I often return to this image when I think about my work. It reminds me that seeing is never solitary: it is shared, sustained by community. In my curatorial practice, I try to nurture that same attentiveness: prioritizing collaboration and collective processes that embrace complexity and vulnerability within our shared histories.

what I do:

  • Exhibition Curation

    Designing and executing exhibitions, events, and curatorial programs with conceptual clarity and organizational precision. Experienced in developing curatorial narratives, planning spatial layouts, and managing all practical aspects from budgeting to logistics.

  • Research

    Understanding of cultural, historical, and artistic contexts, with a focus on marginalized, diasporic, and non-Western narratives. Skilled at analyzing works and stories, connecting them to critical frameworks, and translating insights into accessible content.

  • Collaborating with Artists

    Experienced in commissioning artworks and collaborating with artists to develop new projects. Expert in facilitating creative processes, supporting experimentation, and translating artistic visions into realized exhibitions or projects.

  • Audience Engagement

    Creating collective, participatory processes that involve artists, communities, and multidisciplinary teams. Attentiveness to relationships, listening, and building inclusive spaces that respect complexity and the vulnerability of those involved.

  • Exhibition Design

    Versatility and practical skill in planning, arranging, and installing exhibitions. From spatial layout to hands-on setup, ensuring that artworks, objects, and narratives are presented thoughtfully, cohesively, and in dialogue with the audience and space.

  • Cataloguing

    Support the cataloguing of auction items with clear and accurate descriptions. Conduct research on items, including historical context and relevant details, to ensure well-documented records.

  • Provenance Research

    Conduct research on artworks and objects to trace ownership history and verify authenticity. Support cataloguing processes by providing accurate documentation, contextual analysis, and detailed records of sources.

  • Mapping Institutions
