I hold an MA in International Public Law (Paris II University,  2020) and an MA in International Relations (Sciences Po, 2020) with a specialisation in Human Rights. 

I completed an internship with a non-profit organisation (AADH : Alliance of Lawyers for Human Rights), where I worked on a programme aimed at defending the rights of unaccompanied foreign minors before the courts. I subsequently interned in the Education sector of UNESCO, reviewing the alignment of national legal frameworks with international human rights standards, with a focus on girls and women's access to education (HerAtlas). 

After these experiences in the field of human rights, I decided to devote myself to what may be the most hopeless cause of all: valorising artistic discourses in our societies.

I've returned to university to study art history (Lille University). My research currently focuses on interviews in conceptual art practices, with a particular interest in the work of Lee Lozano, Ian Wilson, Patricia Norvell and Willoughby Sharp.

Writing has become my main activity. My debut autobiographical novel (L'Amour, Michel Lafon, 2023) was published in France, and I am currently working on my second book.

Occasionally, I write about contemporary art, seeking to bring a different - personal and art-focused - perspective to what is commonly said about a work, an artist, or their practice. 

I also present ideas that derive from my personal experiences, thoughts, or feelings (Court Statement, 2023; Clean, ongoing). They involve text and are related to dysfunctional dialogue, in one way or another.
