I am a postdoc at the research consortium De:link // Re:link at Humboldt-Universität in Berlin, investigating configurations of artistic de:construction of current narratives in Silk Road Regions that emerge in the context of the China-led Belt and Road initiative.

Doing science means to ask questions, to change perspectives, to provide a factual basis for new ways of looking at the world. As an AGYA member, I have the privilege to collaborate and exchange views on common and shared questions and to co-produce knowledge and answers on them. Together with my fellow AGYA members, I would like to develop art and culture as a lens and tool to engage with the world: How can art and artistic practices be implemented in the field of mental health and well-being? How can such undertaking be merged with Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Reality? How can we create transcultural collaborations via art universities to facilitate a transcultural dialogue via the arts and artistic practice? AGYA with its network of highly skilled and outside-the-box scientists provides an apt space to tackle such questions. 

AGYA serves as an essential and unprecedented hub that facilitates the translation of scientific knowledge into society and true transcultural and transdisciplinary collaboration between connected researchers.
