The Master in Critical Creative Practices at the Faculty of Design and Art (unibz) is pleased to announce the Fall Lecture Series 2026, a cycle of public lectures bringing together international practitioners whose work engages critically with contemporary questions across art, architecture, technology, ecology, and visual culture.
The 2026 edition features lectures by Paula Strunden (October 13), Mireia Luzárraga—TAKK (November 25), and Emilio Vavarella (December 14).

Paula Strunden is a transdisciplinary artist, architect, and researcher whose work explores embodied and multisensory experiences of extended reality (XR). Working across installation, virtual environments, and spatial research, she investigates alternative histories of immersive technologies, with particular attention to the contributions of female pioneers in virtual reality. Her performative xR installations have been exhibited internationally. In 2025, she was awarded a Postdoctoral Fellowship at ETH Zurich.
