Alba: Researcher in Residence - Fireside Chat, Residency

​Researcher-in-residence, Alba:

​Hosting fireside chat, undergoing anthropological research, producing one artifact during her stay in May. Come stop by the makerspace to say hello, ask questions, and contribute to her research!

​Alba is a Master's student in General Anthropology at Aarhus University (Denmark), joining Komoro Makerspace as a researcher-in-residence in May 2026. She's conducting fieldwork for her thesis and will be producing an anthropological artifact from her time here — shaped by conversations, workshops, and participation in community events. She has hands-on experience translating fieldwork into exhibition form: her undergraduate project on a neighborhood under construction became an exhibition at Moesgaard Museum, featuring soundscapes, photography, and interactive installations. She also draws, paints, and does light crafting.

​Akiya Collective is a non-profit organization and social R&D lab that renovates abandoned houses in Japan into creative residencies, installations and experiments to advance well-being.
