Underground rocks are easy to sell. Their stories are harder to tell!
I am trained in anthropology at the University of Cambridge, and at the EHESS in Paris. I have explored the possibilities of ethnographic methods to address various nature-cultures by working through collaborative contexts, across disciplines and practices on urban ecologies, interspecies relations and lively soils, as a researcher, activist, and gardener. I have co-curated exhibitions and workshops, and co-authored “Terres des Villes, Enquêtes potagères de Bruxelles aux premières saisons du 21e siècle” (Éditions de l’Éclat, 2017) and a growing series of picture essays on soils, among others.
