Conferences

I actively share my research at international conferences in heritage studies, archaeology, and museum studies. I regularly present keynote talks, chair sessions, and co-organize events that bring together scholars, artists, and museum professionals. My contributions focus on critical heritage debates, digital futures, and the intersections of art and archaeology.
