Eve works on art, politics and language in a global context, with a regional focus on Latin America.
Her PhD (University of Leeds 2011, funded by the AHRC) examined conceptual art, institutional and socio-political critique, exhibition practices and artists’ publications. Her postdoctoral research (University of Buenos Aires 2013) further investigated art and activism in Latin America, the social dimension of art, the use of the media by dictatorial regimes and issues of memory, identity, human rights, coloniality and transitions to democracy. Before coming to Kent, Eve taught at the universities of Leeds, Buenos Aires and Amsterdam. Eve is also a museum educator and a curator, and has collaborated with the Netherlands Institute for Cultural Analysis, the van Abbenmuseum, Eindhoven, and the Henry Moore Institute.
Between 2022 and 2023, Eve acted as the first Employability Lead for the Division of Arts and Humanities. She developed and implemented the Division’s employability strategy, developed training (including a Division-wide compulsory module) and established collaborations with partners from the heritage sector and the creative industries. In 2024, Eve jointed the Global and Lifelong Learning team where she develops professional training.
Eve’s research is international, interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral, spanning art, word and image studies, decolonial studies, discourse analysis, museum pedagogies and politics. She has published on art history and theory, conceptual art, Latin American art, social semiotics, exhibition design, new media, activism and feminism. Her most recent publication is Museums and Entrepreneurship: Capitalising on Culture in the 21st Century (co-edited; Routledge 2025).
Between 2019 and 2023, Eve was co-ordinator of the research group Global Trajectories of Thought and Memory: Art and the Global South at the University of Amsterdam. At Kent, she is leading the research project Decolonial Practices in Art & Culture with funding from Research England and the Migration and Movement signature research theme.
Eve’s classes foster dialogue, respect, diversity, critical thinking and collaboration. She holds a PG Certificate in Higher Education and is a HE Advanced Fellow.
Her teaching encourages students to build on their existing knowledge, learn through direct experience, and engage their imagination and innate curiosity. Eve employs Visible Thinking pedagogies developed at Harvard University, and helps her students identify and better use the learning dispositions that are most suitable to them in order to learn better (active learning) and learn further (independent learning).
Eve is especially interested in promoting academic development in parallel to professional development through workshops, museum visits and work experience. She encourages and supports her students to contribute to the Department’s Art History Blog.
For 2023-24, Eve is teaching and convening the following modules:
She has previously taught Elements of Latin American Art, Study of A Single Artist – León Ferrari, Curatorial Internship and modules on visual culture, image and text relations, activism and exhibitions.
Eve can supervise students working on the following topics:
