Research interests

My current research and curatorial practice is focused on collaborative practices and pedagogies driven by queer and disability studies. I am developing research on the intersection between histories of herbalism and socialism, mainly in Eastern Europe and the Baltic regions.

I am an active member of the Archaeologies of Media and Technology Research Group (AMT), running a seasonal reading group for the past two years. Please email if you are interested in joining the next one.

Current PhD project under supervision (with Prof. Jussi Parikka): Eda Sancakdar Onikinci - (Un)veiling the feminine: Photographic (in)visibility in the nineteenth century photographs of the veiled women

I welcome supervision topics in the area of moving image and screen technologies in art practice, historical and archival work and beyond. I would particularly enjoy projects that centre and are preoccupied with questions of gender, race and sexuality, rest and pleasure, healing and care.
