As tenure track professor in history of art & visual culture (UPF Barcelona) she specialises in dangerous images. This can be a mediaeval print, an (almost) forgotten monument or an Instagram post, as long as it inspires a fear that this image could upset the moral, political or social order. What happens when an image breaches the art world bubble and becomes a matter of life and death? In this context, she is interested most in the grey areas and unexpected subtleties in such a dramatic scenario: the destroyers of images who secretly love the artworks they attack; or the supposedly free society who subtly yet mercilessly crushes a troublesome artist. She loves co-creation and immersive, unconventional approaches and if possible, try to merge the artistic with the academic, using performance, participatory tools or animation to make art topics more accessible. This is also why she founded the platform Rebellious Teaching, which brings together frontier educators across disciplines and countries. She is currently working on two exhibitions, have founded the Taste of the Algorithm working group which deals with online censorship of images, and serve on the advisory board of the Berlin Brandenburg Academy for their Enlightenment theme.
