Art Education


︎ Say hello

Teaching is an integral part of my artistic practice, creating spaces where photography becomes a means of exploration, dialogue, and shared knowledge production. Since 2022, I have been a University Assistant in Applied Photography and Time-Based Media at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, where I teach photographic techniques, post-production, and exhibition-related practices. In one of my yearly classes, I accompany students in developing and realising exhibition concepts for the annual Angewandte Festival, from curatorial approaches and spatial presentation to production and communication.

Beyond the university context, I develop and lead workshops for museums, festivals, and cultural institutions, including Foto Arsenal Vienna, mumok, Kunsthalle Krems, Kunsthaus Vienna, and Foto Wien. My educational work engages with photography as a tool for questioning perspectives, constructing narratives, and exploring relationships between image, identity, environment, and society.
