His current research explores human and vegetal alliances as a path toward biocultural peace-building through participatory art and film in the Andean-Amazon region. He is a recent Postdoctoral artistic researcher with the SNF Project Plants_Intelligence. Learning Like a Plant (2022-2025) hosted at the Institute Art Gender Nature HGK Basel FHNW.
