My research

Considering art as a trans/multidisciplinary reflexive practice, this study aims to investigate whether art can directly act on the social fabric and produce commons by promoting an ethics of proximity and care. Thus transforming political and epistemological structures. Starting with the construction of a glossary, the aim will be to investigate the relationship between art and capitalism, art and science, art and politics and ethics.
