Curating

From time to time I work as a curator, shaping exhibitions, texts, and live-programming. My work as a curator is driven by a radical, playful and trend-forecasting approach, exploring Queer and non-Western ontologies, Crip-theory & disability, ecofeminism, environmentalism, more-than-human perspectives, somatic experiencing, club-culture, criticality, enchantment and ritual. Below are some recent curatorial projects. Get in touch for collaborations!

2021
RE_NATURE — at Willem Twee & Tramkade, Den Bosch (NL).

In 2021, I co-curated the manifestation RE_NATURE together with curator Imke Ruigrok in several locations in Den Bosch (NL). In the first edition I focused on the chapter exhibition RE_MEMBER, which included works by Tabita Rezaire (FR), Institute of Queer Ecology (US), Melanie Bonajo (NL), Zheng Bo (CN), Arahmaiani (ID), Keiko Sato (JP), Amanda Piña (CL) and Müge Yilmaz (TR). I also shaped live programming with a workshop by Arahmaiani (ID), Amanda Piña (CL) and Noam Youngrak Son / Institute of Queer Ecology (US). The festival itself presented 45 artists and projects, such as; Atelier Van Lieshout, De Onkruidenier, Ambassade van de Noordzee, Iris van Herpen, Next Nature and Olafur Elliason, and others. From 2022 onwards I've had an advisory and fundraising role. See more: re-nature.org/‍

2022
‍All Flourishing is Mutual — at MELKWEG Amsterdam (NL).

In spring 2022, I was invited by Colette Olof to co-curate a show in MELKWEG EXPO Amsterdam. Orbiting the work of Robin Wall Kimmerer and notions of the more-than-human, the show All Flourishing is Mutual brought together young, local, and international names such as Sissel Marie Tonn (DK), Layla Durrani & Liza Prins (NL/USA) and others. Through my invitation, the platform Queer Nature (US) and artist Ella Yolande (UK) both had their first show in the Netherlands. See more: allflourishingismutual.melkwegexpo.online/
