In 2024, I had the privilege of leading a workshop for Safe Space, a youth-focused mental health project by pro mente OÖ, an organization dedicated to psychosocial care since 1964. Together with the participants, we explored key awareness topics, developed visual campaigns, and equipped them with the tools to finalize and share their work. The experience was deeply rewarding, filled with creativity, curiosity, and meaningful collaboration.

In April 2024 Creative Mornings, a worldwide program highlighting and featuring artists through accessible events, invited me to speak about inclusion and safer spaces in the creative industry. Thank you to the incredible Creative Mornings team for having me. What an experience to talk in such an establishment such as the house of music in Vienna and in front of such a wonderful audience.

On February 29th I was invited by the lovely team behind Photo Cluster Vienna to speak at their “meet the artist” talks about the topic of inclusion and safe(r) spaces in the creative industries. Thank you for having me and thank you for the lovely turn out, it was gorgeous chatting to so many wonderful people after the event.
