Responsible for artists at Education Collective

I am an artist, researcher and somatic edcucator. My work sits at the intersection of art, ecology and politicised somatics and is concerned with body politics and embodied experience through a decolonial, intersectional feminist lense. I facilitate workshops on embodied social justice and critical studies of whiteness.
I initiated a work group on critical studies and practices of whiteness in Mera25 Berlin, in which we critically assess white privilge and structural racism within Mera25, and how to move from performative allyship to accountable and real solidarity.
I also work as an inclusion and teaching assistant in a primary school in Berlin Neukölln.
I am originally from South Tyrol, a bilingual region in the North of Italy. I lived and studied in London for 15 years and relocated to Berlin in 2020.
