I am a practice-based researcher working with multispecies ecologies and feral methodologies, at the intersections of art, design, and environmental inquiry. My research draws on everyday materials and occasions – such as food, DIY technologies, foraged matter, fermented cultures, and forest walks – as sites where human and other-than-human ways of knowing meet, collide, and sometimes transform each other. Rather than producing objects, I develop processes and stage situations in which different species, materials, and sensory registers come into contact, opening space for unexpected shifts in understanding. My work asks what forms of attention and responsibility become possible when research stays with the lively, unpredictable dynamics of multispecies encounter.
I am currently affiliated as an Assistant Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague where I act as the Head of Doctoral Research Department and lead the Multispecies Ecologies and Practices research group. I co-direct ABIS – Ars Biologica Independent Studies, an international art-science programme connecting ecology, technology, and living systems research. I have co-founded the Uroboros festival, the Open Forest Collective, and the Feeding Food Futures network. Previously I held a postdoctoral research fellowship at Aalto University - School of Arts, Design and Architecture, where I worked with the CreaTures – Creative Practices for Transformational Futures EU Horizon 2020 project. In CreaTures, I led the Laboratory of Experimental Productions and co-developed the CreaTures Framework, a research tool for assessing how creative practices contribute to social and ecological transformation.
My work has appeared in leading academic outlets and cultural venues including the Venice Architecture Biennale, ArtScience Museum Singapore, Helsinki Design Week, Research Pavilion Helsinki, National Museum of Scotland, and National Gallery Prague.
