I am a researcher, writer, and cultural organiser based in Paris and Marseille. My current work focuses on the ways how climate adaptation strategies are transforming the cultures and politics of the urban public sphere, engaging critical humanities, creative research methods, and artistic works to address sonic, choreographic, and narrative dimensions of change. I draw on a training in music and urban studies, as well as a decade of work connecting arts and urbanism with Theatrum Mundi, to explore the complex dynamics that shape public life in cities through a series of cross-cutting threads including ecology, infrastructure, sound, movement, culture, and voice.

 

I work with universities, cultural organisations, and private practices to lead learning programmes, international knowledge exchange, and collaborative, cross-disciplinary research around these approaches. See my LinkedIn or Instagram for more, or email me to contact me about working together.

Walk: Grand Parc Promenade (Paris)

This annual series of walks since 2023 explores, together with students of Community, Environment and Planning, the future Grand Parc planned for the north-east of Paris, which will open up, connect, and create green spaces in order to create a continuous network of around 50 hectares of green infrastructure. The walks explore old and new forms of urban greening, including linear forests, tree planting on the embankments of the Périphérique ring road, the opening of the Petite ceinture rail line, and also wild untended spaces. Together, we question how conflicting ecological and spatial conditions can be integrated into such a vast, singular landscape.
