Barbara Nino Carreras/CV
I am a creative researcher interested in the intersection of technology, social justice movements, and art. Before my research career I worked at Fotografisk Center where I co-curated an exhibition about the pioneering work of visual artist Char Davies. I also produced and filmed videos about artists showing their work at the center.
