Publications

My publications focus on museology, heritage studies, Moroccan collections and textile heritage, with particular attention to the history of collections, museum practices and the valorization of Moroccan cultural objects.

My research combines historical approaches and museum studies to examine the transformation of heritage objects, especially textiles and carpets, from objects of production and use into preserved and exhibited museum collections.
