Together with Bernadette Krejs he is founder of Palace of Un/Learning - an artistic-activist intervention that is exploring counter-hegemonic design strategies and experimental pedagogies for a queer-feminist spatial practice. They collaborated with Fundació Mies van der Rohe Barcelona, Oslo Architecture Triennale, Irish Architecture Foundation Dublin, Design Academy Eindhoven, Viper Gallery, UMPRUM Prague and Archfondas Vilnius. In 2025 they will curate an exhibition at DAZ (German Architecture Center Berlin) about their own and accomplices' work.
