I am a researcher and lecturer affiliated with the lectoraat Critical Creative Pedagogies – Queering Pedagogies of Care. I research how queer and trans* communities create their own forms of caring and learning when institutions fail to meet their needs, and what arts education can learn from these practices.
My PhD research examines queer and trans* practices as pedagogies of care – forms of learning and caring rooted in shared experiences of marginalisation, resistance, and survival. This artistic research draws on my lived experience as a queer and trans* artist and educator, as well as on ongoing collaborations with communities that rely on mutual aid. Using co-creative methods such as performance, care mapping, and zine-making, I explore how ephemeral community knowledges can be sustained, shared, and brought into conversation with arts education.
At HKU, I teach in the DBKV (Docent Beeldende Kunst en Vormgeving) programme and in Fine Art. I like to help create arts education that is grounded in care, attentiveness, and accountability, and to build more just and nurturing learning spaces shaped by the knowledges and practices that queer and trans* communities have long cultivated for survival and social transformation.
