Natalie Novik

Natalie Novik is a spatial practitioner, researcher, and educator based in Sweden. Her work centers on urban commoning, collective care, and socially engaged architecture, exploring how multiple subjectivities are embodied in the spaces we inhabit. She has worked as an urban planner and design consultant, focusing on dialogue processes; created site-specific installations as a member of the Creature Collective, and co-founded  Studio REplay. Her practice incorporates urban curating through ficto-critical methods, games, speculative narrations and cartographies, assemblages and scores. She holds a master’s degree in Architecture and Planning Beyond Sustainability from Chalmers and is pursuing a PhD in artistic research at HDK-Valand Academy of Art and Design. Her research examines spatial practices from the margins, particularly maintenance and repair as a form of spatial activism.
