My approach to teaching is based on emancipating usership, radical - public - feminist pedagogy, collaboration rather than competition and trandisciplinary research.
I am invested in encouraging students to develop a method using art as a tool for change. I am particulary indebted to Broadcasting the archive, a project developped with Gemma Medina Estupiñan in 2015 and the pedagogical model carried on by Tania Bruguera at the Catedra de Arte de Conducta and Escuela de Arte Útil.
Below you can find a selection of classes and lectures delivered independently or in dialogue with other members of the Asociación de Arte Útil.
I am an advisor at Transart Institute for Creative Research.
