Activities

My professional work isn't conventional training. It's critical intervention at the fault lines of knowledge systems — in the spaces where institutional structures crack, where archives hold silence instead of substance, and where libraries fail to weave together the memories that matter.

I operate at that intersection, offering courses, workshops, and seminars —in-person or virtual— designed for institutions, collectives, and individuals who need more than professional development. They need to rethink what they do, and how they do it.

Here are some of the core themes I develop:

• Ontologies, metadata, and classification: tools to structure, unstructure, and restructure knowledge. Conceptual modeling, data curation, the semantic web, linked data, digital preservation.
• Applied semantic consultancy: intervening in projects where existing information models are no longer enough. From scientific collections to community memory, from heritage portals to broken cataloging systems.
• Trenches and libraries: strategies for extreme contexts. Services that are built from scratch, that resist from the margins, or that persist without infrastructure. No excuses — just critical design and contextual action.
• Epistemologies of the South and decolonization: library re-readings grounded in conflict, orality, displaced bodies, and denied knowledge. Training that doesn't aim to comfort, but to unsettle.
• Knowledge, sustainability, and the biosphere: how biodiversity, citizen science, degrowth, and collective memory can work together. What libraries can do when the planet is burning.
• Oral tradition and endangered sound: managing memories that aren't written. Languages, music, silences. Methods for capturing the ephemeral — ethically, technically, and urgently.

Every activity is custom-designed. There are no off-the-shelf programs or generic courses — only listening, analysis, and joint construction.

If what you're doing with information, memory, or culture no longer works, get in touch. We can fix it — or break it open and build something new.
