Writing is an integral part of my practice, unfolding across academic research, curatorial texts, and project-based formats. My work includes peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, and doctoral research, alongside exhibition texts, pedagogical materials, and project proposals.

Working in both Swedish and English, I approach writing as a situated and relational practice, shaped in dialogue with artistic processes, places, and collaborations. Rather than separating analysis from practice, my writing moves between critical reflection and curatorial thinking, often emerging through ongoing projects and field-based work.

Across formats, I work between disciplines, exploring how writing can articulate, extend, and give form to artistic and spatial inquiries within broader social and political contexts.
