ABOUT ME
I am a dynamic arts professional with more than 6 years of experience in
project management and audience engagement at creative institutions
in South America, Asia and Europe. As I am passionate about telling stories and willing to contribute to social impact, I developed an expertise in
curatorial practices, content development and marketing communications, exploring social issues and aiming at inclusive experiences.
Recently, I started working as a freelancer under the name GIOKUNST.
By means of Research, Curation and Communication, I currently help artists and cultural institutions to develop and deliver their stories in the most effective way. Additionally, I work as an Independent Researcher and Curator and I am a member of the artistic collective TimeWindow.
Below I tell more about my current and previous experiences.
