OUR TEAM
Filippa Christofalou, M.S.Ed. (she/her) is a public engagement, museum education and participation professional, with extensive work experience in different institutions across many countries, including Saatchi Gallery, London National Maritime Museum, Chicago Art Institute, Whitney Museum, MCA Chicago, and National Archaeological Museum of Athens.
As a doctoral student in Museum Education, in the Art & Art Education program at Teachers College, Columbia University, Filippa is interested in the ways that body based pedagogies in museum spaces disrupt institutional violence and calibrate epistemological imbalance. So far, the two entry points to her research, are (i) locating in-situ, emergent “acts of disembodiment” in art museums (link with publication), and (ii) regarding the examination of social location and positionality as a prerequisite for practicing body based pedagogies in complex and loaded places of learning, such as museums (link with publication).
Filippa is also a performance artist and the founder of The Drama Science Lab, a series of evolving projects that use the body as a medium to explore the boundaries between art and science.
