Adopting an interdisciplinary and dialogic approach for the investigation of how memory and the experience of place in the present of the exchange with those involved impact on identity formation.
It has supported debates, workshops, round tables and symposia also to inform artistic interventions. These have included such works as the participatory live installation Spa(e)cious (Wysing Art Centre, Galleria Artra Milan, MK gallery Milton Keynes, Philosophy and performance group, performance Studies international and Kingston University Art Research Unit, Bergamo Scienza); ‘views form above’ (Institute of Astronomy, Cambridge); L’elastico (Ruskin Gallery, MK Gallery, 2012); the public art/sculptural installations Navigation Diagrams (MK Gallery); U’ Verruzze’ (part of Radio Materiality, curators Vessel, Bari, Athens Biennale 2013) and Balancing (solo show at Doppelgaenger Gallery Bari, Italy, 2014).
This research is also at the basis of lived dialectics: movement and rest (Q2, MuseumsQuartier Vienna, Austria, 2016), as well as Seeds of Attachment addressing issues of identity in relation to place attachment and motherhood exhibited at New Hall Collection Cambridge.
