Mathilde's research interests are in gender and sexualities within visual culture, currently being explored through a practice-led PhD in curatorial practice at Northumbria University in Newcastle. The project positions curating itself as a research methodology, examining the artistic practices of sex workers through situated, embodied, and relational approaches that emphasise care, activism, and collaboration. Her curatorial research investigates the intersections of creativity, sexuality, and labour, and how sex workers create their own archives and narratives. By treating exhibitions as spaces for generating knowledge, the research demonstrates that sex workers are already shaping their own stories and futures, requiring not external interpretation but resources, recognition, and institutional support.
