Instituting Differently; Revisiting Care, Collaboration & Governance;
Learning Stewardship from the Non-Human World
Co-organised and delivered a three-day workshop examining how we work in, with, and beyond cultural institutions through curatorial, somatic, and critical lenses. The programme reflected on how care, collaboration, and non-human stewardship can reshape institutional practices and governance.
Aysesu led a session on care-centred collaboration, introducing tools such as Daniel Ofman’s Core Quality Quadrants and group reflections on relational dynamics. The workshop concluded with the cohort’s collaboratively authored MFA Curating Guiding Principles, emphasising care, transparency, listening, inclusivity, and mutual accountability.

Co-curator / Researcher / Co-author
Guided by historian Ian Sygrave, curator Dr. Nayia Yiakoumaki, artist Marysia Lewandowska, and archivist Gabriella Bush, the group developed methods of reading the archive through feminist and decolonial lenses. The project culminated in a collaboratively curated cabinet display and the publication Politics, Loyalty, Dissemination—a booklet interpreting artefacts from the Second Empire through the themes of power, representation, and collectable allegiance.
- Public display at Camden Place exploring imperial memory and exile
- Co-authored publication Politics, Loyalty, Dissemination
- Mentorship from Marysia Lewandowska and Nayia Yiakoumaki
Curatorial Placement / Co - Writer / Researcher
My role included curatorial research, artist support, and developing accompanying interpretive materials for audiences and local communities. I contributed to Create London’s public writing series accompanying the exhibition, which expanded on key curatorial and socio-political themes through four essays:
These texts examine Delaine Le Bas’s practice through ideas of ritual, inheritance, and the politics of visibility, positioning her work within wider conversations on care, migration, and the archival representation of marginalised histories.
- Researched the histories of Roma and Traveller presence in East London
- Authored four essays for Create London’s public writing series
- Contributed to the exhibition’s community engagement and interpretive framework

- Worked closely with Hackney Libraries and Art School Plus to embed care-driven approaches to community engagement
- Contributed to the Art at Heart Toolkit, a sector-first resource for integrating artists into public library spaces
