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.

Listening to the museum, hearing the city

Participation with Richard Sennett in a panel discussion on sound in museums, invited by Eric de Visscher.


How can we define polyphony? Is it a simple accumulation of diverse voices, or does it respond to organizational criteria that guide them? Can we find this organization in the sonic constitution of the urban scene, where voices with multiple accents, strident or continuous noises, and relative silences intermingle? How do residents participate in the development of this polyphony? And can an architectural museum reflect it?
