Vanessa is an independent curator, currently based in London. Through her projects, she explores contemporary matters from a conceptual perspective. Identifying diverse phenomena, she researches questions via collaborative processes and by utilising theoretical and practical approaches, leading to engaging shows. 
Her interests are centred on issues of identity, politics and on current societal topics, examined through multimedia exhibitions and prompting from her everyday encounters.
​
Her interdisciplinary training and multicultural upbringing provide her with a wide variety of creative approaches.
