Here & There
Here and There is a cultural exchange program that organises and facilitates projects, exhibitions, workshops, lectures, and discussions to reflect on contemporary life and explore the future of traditions. Aware of the importance of increased cultural diversity and wider sharing of values, Here and There aims at setting up a network of international designers and creative practitioners in Europe and Asia, tie a new generation of creative entrepreneurs and offer opportunities to seek unfamiliar territories for their professional development and to promote intercultural tolerance.
As a project coordinator and communications manager I took care of funding applications, partnership development, written communication content (website, exhibitions, publications), overseeing creative projects and special events (workshops, lectures, discussions, networking events), research funding opportunities, establish production schedule, support ongoing programs and exhibits, conduct research and share findings, manage media relations.

Onomatopee
At Onomatopee, architects, urban planners, graphic and spatial designers, cultural critics, marketers, artists, politicians and others willing to engage with the meaningfulness of designed culture, get together, within a constructive sphere of nurturing, cultural citizenship, to negotiate and establish our cultural future via design’s playful, political practice.
During my internship, I prepared exhibitions, and additional events, supporting artists in artwork production, documented publications and performed ad hoc tasks.
