Presentations, lectures, and other spoken words
I’ve given talks and lectures at venues and events internationally, as well as moderated and participated in panels and public discussions between artists, curators, and researchers. Additionally, I’ve taught BA and MA courses and conducted workshops, seminars, or presentations for various educational institutions and art programs.
