‘Catalogue of Resistance, Intimacy and Pause’ explores time through the lens of crip theory — a framework in the intersection of disability and queer studies that questions cultural ideals of independence, productivity and normalcy. The project takes the form of a human-sized, three-dimensional book that visitors can physically explore. Each translucent page layers the designer’s research, including Riso-printed posters and traces of collective experiments. Enclosed in a cover featuring reflective typography and personal videos, the book also acts as a sculptural environment offering spaces to rest, a refuge from the constant demand for performance.The project both documents and creates an environment in which refusal and opacity are radical, political acts. By rethinking value, time and presence through the lived experience of disability and chronic illness, it gestures toward the futures we are already making in the cracks of the present.

With a background in Contextual Design, she understands design and artistic practice as tools for making sense of the world and for cultural critique. Through objects, images, and situations, she approaches authorship as a form of responsibility, using narrative and imagination to create spaces for collective reflection.
She is an external lecturer in book design at MdRV (Cooperative State University Baden-Württemberg, Ravensburg) and a mentor and coach in filmmaking at the intersectional feminist project GIRLS GO MOVIE in Mannheim, Germany.
