About

I am an art historian, researcher, writer, and educator. My research interests concern black diaspora art history in the Nordic region and beyond from the late 18th century until the present.  

I completed my PhD at the University of Copenhagen’s Department of Arts and Cultural Studies in April 2026. My dissertation, titled "Bodies of Work: Black Artistic Practices in Denmark and the Politics of Embodiment, 1980s–2020s," is the first in-depth academic study to concentrate on the work and experiences of contemporary artists who are racialized as black in Denmark and to explore what it means to draw these often isolated practices into a common analytical framework. 

In 2024 I co-founded the curatorial platform G/HOSTING together with Mai Takawira. G/HOSTING uses curatorial, editorial, educational, and dissemination projects to activate critical and reparative approaches to ongoing colonial histories. Through collaborations with artists, authors and cultural institutions, G/HOSTING facilitates interventions into exhibitions, collections, and public spaces. Our first publication, black monument, was published in March 2026 by Art Hub Copenhagen and Archive Books. 

As of February 2026 I am working as Director and Curator at Astrid Noacks Atelier, an independent space for artistic experimentation, knowledge sharing, and community building in Nørrebro, Copenhagen. 

At the University of Copenhagen, I am a member of the research cluster Nordic Models , the research group Thinking Photography Today, and formerly a member of the research network The Art of Nordic Colonialism. I am a member of the editorial board of Periskop – Forum for kunsthistorisk debat.
