Creating Change: Community Art for Inclusive Societies
- What defines my approach?
I provide a welcoming and inclusive creative environment for individuals to come together, share their stories, and actively engage in collaborative art projects.
My primary practice creates empowering spaces for participants to co-create art that reflects their shared experiences, promotes diversity, inclusion, and strengthens the bonds between members.
It acts as a catalyst for building a sense of belonging and community through the power of artistic expression and co-creation.
- Art Programs
One goal, three ways
Tailor-Made Art Initiatives
Together, we design and co-create monuments that reflect your community’s identity and experiences.
Participatory Art Kits
I design a concept inspired by your vision, and together we craft your community’s monument.
Art Lab
I guide your group in creating the art, culminating in a final exhibition that showcases your group’s message and identity.

ObjeXs and Effects In Transition | 2019
Art Program: Participatory Art Kits
ObjeXs is a poignant sculpture created in partnership with the Institute for X to honor its memory following its partial demolition and gentrification in Aarhus in 2019. The sculpture – a wooden toolbox filled with ashes from personal objects contributed by the community and burned as part of a performance – was later gifted to the College of Architecture. It is now displayed as a public work of art in the school’s library, situated on the site where B House, one of the main buildings in the area, originally stood. This piece serves as a powerful reminder of the impact of gentrification on individuals and communities, honoring the legacy of what was lost.

Exploring Anxiety – Artistic Research | Ongoing
Art Program: Art Lab
Curated by Beatriz since 2022 this ongoing research series encompasses workshops, happenings, performances, and exhibitions focused on exploring ‘ugly emotions’ such as anxiety. Its goal is to address these often-taboo subjects, foster open dialogue, and deepen understanding and empathy among participants. Additionally, the series serves as a personal journey for both the artist and participants, using the creative process to address and manage these uncomfortable emotions while promoting self-acceptance.
