Research: Postcolonial Reflections in the Contemporary Museum Space: Dialogues, Relational Practices, and Cultural Restitution in the Case of the “Cultures and Mission” Cultural Hub between Kenya and Italy
She is a PhD student in the Identity, Memory, Religion and Peace doctoral Peace Studies programme. She holds a BA in Intercultural Communication and an MA in Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology from the University of Turin. Over the past three years, she has worked at the University of Turin in research support, contributing to the development and management of competitive national and European research projects. Her academic trajectory has been shaped by research experiences across Africa and Europe. In Mozambique, she examined postcolonial dynamics within medical and psychological contexts, while in Turin she conducted research with the Nigerian Pentecostal community, exploring the role of religious narratives in the construction of identity and belonging. Her research focuses on the intersections of memory, identity, and narrative from a postcolonial perspective, with particular attention to missionary ethnographic museums as sites of dialogue, restitution, and intercultural co-creation. Her work engages with public and transformative anthropology, understood as a practice that contributes to peacebuilding and fosters spaces of encounter, listening, and shared reflection.
