I’m Cristina Margherita Napoleone — founder/director of TERRAIN, and a transdisciplinary artist-curator + researcher. This page is the low-friction place where I keep current threads.
Based in Naarm/Melbourne. I work across ecology, design, publishing, education, and community infrastructure. If you’re looking for TERRAIN: terrain.earth.
