I’m a writer and producer working across arts and culture and based between Berlin and Milan.
I currently lead Cultural Partnerships and Brand Narrative for Bottega Veneta, working across projects and collaborations including: Tate Britain, Punta della Dogana, Peggy Guggenheim Museum, Leeum Museum of Art, Air Afrique, Magma Journal, Soundwalk Collective and Patti Smith, ‘Portraits of Fatherhood’ with Carrie Mae Weems and A$AP Rocky, and The Square São Paolo.
In my writing and reporting, I explore the relationship between artistic expression and social and political realities, with a focus on the visibility and reception of women artists, and the relationship between culture and far right politics. My work has been published in The Guardian, The Atlantic, Internazionale, Aeon, Purple Magazine, Reuters, and the BBC, and has been critically acclaimed and cited in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, The New York Times, and Slate.
In other cultural programming and editorial consultancy, I have worked with publishers, institutions, and organisations across the arts, design, fashion, and architecture including Thames & Hudson, Goethe Institut, ifa, DCV Books, and Psyche.
I have developed, produced, and hosted several podcasts including both investigative and interview-based series with Thames and Hudson, Politico, Global Public Policy Institute, European Council on Foreign Relations, and Humboldt Forum Berlin. I also co-launched the Germany programme of Intelligence Squared, a forum for live discussion and debate, and regularly host and moderate public talks and events, including with Humboldt Forum Berlin, Max Planck Society, Heinrich Böll Stiftung, and the International Literature Festival Berlin.
I have a first-class degree in Modern Languages and Literature from the University of Cambridge and an MA, with Distinction, from the Courtauld Institute of Art. I am fluent in German, Italian and French, and have led workshops, seminars and talks at Bard College Berlin, the University of Bristol, and the University of Cambridge.
