To notice requires awareness, which requires action and participation. Consolidating knowledge about how the unnoticed came to be and later, what has become, is the key to continuing this awareness-action loop. Join me as I explore a series of examples and reflections where reciprocal actions were transformed into frameworks, new ways of collaboration, accessible knowledge, participatory documentation, and more humane cultural production.

As a multiple practitioner, my work has its foundation on human experience and participatory action by engaging with cultural production and community work. I have been working as a designer for twenty years and I have dedicated the last ten years to the open-source community and industry. Nowadays I build R&D processes and coordinate releases at Arduino, the open-source hardware and software company that democratizes technology reach. When it comes to research, I study different communities ranging from marginalized imprisoned groups doing art workshops, to female and non-binary experimental sound artists to make their production visible from a gender and cultural perspective.
