Hello! I'm Matilde, a graduant student in Herbal Sciences from Pisa University.

As I embark on this journey, my aim is to shift away from the conventional relationship we established with the other, exploring paths that go beyond the anthropocentric perspective.

I'm excited by the weaving of art, science as a tool to imagine other worlds.

During the first period of my internship, I've worked on Korreltje Zout and iJKruid, by choosing the plants that are gonna be in our renovated ecological terrace and updating our plant database with more concise and precise knowledge about the plants we've come across. I then focused on finding new sustainable and more ethical sources for the hydroponic system, specifically researching on urine for nitrogen and phosphorus.
I'm also researching for new and interesting approaches to global future in the realm of urban agriculture.
