ABOUT ME
I am a dynamic arts professional with more than 8 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 and environmental impact, I developed an expertise in curatorial practices, content development and marketing communications, exploring socioenvironmental issues and aiming at inclusive experiences.
I currently work as a freelancer under the name GIOKUNST.
By means of Research, Curation and Communication, I help artists and cultural institutions to develop and deliver their stories in the most effective way. Additionally, I work as an Independent Researcher, Producer and Curator and I am a member of the artistic community TimeWindow.
Below I tell more about my current and previous experiences.
GIOKUNST
Sep. 2021 - Today
Curatorial research & production
Content development
Creative writing
Communication strategies
I enjoy working on projects that deal with social issues and processes. That is why I am specialized in
Sociology of Art.
Artworks and projects that reflect our current times are part of my focus, aiming to raise awareness of what is happening around us.
Telling stories is at the core of all services that I provide. This is an effective strategy for audience engagement.
It is important for me to develop stories that connect to a broad audience, often through the use of participatory approaches.
