Bio
"A multidisciplinary arts and humanities practitioner, dividing her work into 3 distinct but organically overlapping fields: direction of cross-media / cross-cultural projects, anthropological research and theatre. She holds a BA in Mass Media and Communication, a Diploma in Theatre and a MA in Cultural Management and Human Communication. She is currently completing her PhD in Social Anthropology at Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences, in collaboration with the Department of Cultural Technology and Communication, Aegean University.
As the co-founder and artistic director of PLAYS2PLACE (http://plays2place.com), she is involved in a series of transnational projects concerning applied models for civic transformation, raising awareness and social integration through a working method that combines elements of participatory action research and artistic intervention. Over the last five years, her work focuses on the refugee issue and the transformation of solidarity practices across EUROMENA. She is the director of the DOME PROJECT (http://thedomeproject.net & http://thedomeevent.net), a cross-media umbrella project that maps, networks and empowers solidarity initiatives in the region. In this effort, she has developed synergies and affiliations with socio-culturally active European and EUROMENA networks and organizations such as Cultural Innovators Network (http://www.culturalinnovators.org/), the Goethe Institute, Robert Bosch Foundation (http://www.bosch-stiftung.de/), Tandem/Shaml - Cultural Managers Exchange Program, (http://tandemexchange.eu/), CulturalBase (http://culturalbase.eu/) and others."
