“...The traditional figure of the woman as mother and ultimate caretaker in everyday domestic life remains deeply engraved in our social understanding. Care is seen rather as a natural predisposition in women and not as a social role inscribed upon them through patriarchy – a role whose fulfilment requires actual work and a sacrifice of energy, time, freedom and self-determination. While these conditions resonate in Georgina's artistic work, they in no way dictate its perception. Georgina's work sparkles with joy in a long strand of a seemingly endless narrative of colors, free movement and communality. ‘At the end of the day we dance together’ is a reminder that even if care is a valuable good, it can also be a necessary act of autonomy to completely free oneself from it and dance together into the night without a care in the world...”

The market of employment requires us to present ourselves through curriculum vitae (CV). A A4 document where we are supposed to fit educational and working life. No matters what brought us from experience 1 to experience 2; the more the document looks like a list, the better it is. We are used to knowing that highlighting the names of the offices where we worked and the amount of time spent there is a good move to catch the attention of the reader. Should that be the priority? Or should our struggles and emotions be manifested?

her🌸️practice: biases, glitches and oppressive values or a happy domesticity!

Graduation project for Royal Academy of Art - The Hague, June 2022
The project won the Stroom Young Talent Award 2022

‘Her Practice’ is an interdisciplinary design project aiming to tell her story; to bring things to the front; to establish a new design practice following an intersectional feminist approach. This practice focuses on the “dialogue” that should be carefully cultivated when the designer and user come together, before and during the design process. This practice simultaneously aims to create future domesticities which not only satisfy and facilitate the user but that also shape social behavioral patterns.
The proposal takes the public through an interactive route which tells this story, my quest, and finally empowers other individuals leading them to read, to listen, to understand, to experience, even to identify themselves with my autobiographical story. Through my grandmother’s kitchen I question the gender performativity and patriarchal structures working as common ground which allows the users to embrace their own truths as they compare facts, objects, spatial paths or behaviors with their own domestic environments.
‘Her Practice’ is telling her story also in order to encourage other individuals to tell their own. When the designers know, understand and consider the real needs of the users, listening and accepting their own “truths”, then they can achieve a resilient design that respects the users, meets their needs and finally inspires them.
Through this practice I see myself as a critical practitioner rather than expert, believing that everyone can be potential expert based on their own lived experience. Thus, I invite other users to explore, discuss and develop together this practice exercising on my grandmother’s house through the alternation of scale, spatial qualities and domestic rituals. This collective process drives us to exchange thoughts and common visions for a new design paradigm which reflect more equal and inclusive worlds using a feminist approach. Read my thesis here

if, witchcraft realities 🃏️

Participatory performance @Marineterrein, Amsterdam, NL, June 2021
_{Hello.

My name is Action and I know nothing about your past. If you see me around, come and
play with me. The “if, witchcraft realities” (2021 edition) is a role-playing game based on 7 different characters who try to create an alternative map of Marineterrein following seven stages.
The characters’ names are Dream, Idea, Space, Object, Look and Feeling and each player choose one. In the first stage every player gets one witchcraft bag with his 7 cards, the tools for building the map, and the rules card. Each card corresponds to one of the seven stages of the route starting from the Escape stage. Action will drive you to next stages which are the Possibility, Listening, Choice, Voice, Door and Orientation stage.
Also keep that Action is the key character. During the stages you have to speak out the cards and/or to perform the words. In the final stage, you have to use the tools of the bag in order to build your own image on the common map. Each player who imprint his perspective according also the rules during the game, wins his access to the real world.

Players: 1-6

Duration: 45 min}

Focusing on the male-female dipole, we observe a continuous trend in recent years where everything tends to be reversed, to mix, to coincide, to become one in a world that is evolving, without inequalities where everyone has the right to choose. The public and private space must be adapted towards this path and the needs born out of it.
