In 2023, I returned to Slovakia to lead production on the 3rd edition of the Kinesis festival, this was the biggest event Young Office had organised and featured some 50+ local artists, providing a vital and much-needed platform for young creatives to showcase their art. We also secured EU funding for this edition allowing us to create a truly unforgettable festival.
It was a wild sucsess cementing Young Office Žilina as a major cultral player in the city.

SRM Live was an experimental series of live concerts in the B32 Building in Maastricht. I was allowed to redesign a large gallery space into a functioning music venue that could host 100people for club nights and Live events.
How to (actually) Create D.I.Y Spaces (2019)
I wrote this piece in late 2019, when in the early moments of developing a queer independent music venue in Maastricht, it was generated out of a sense of frustration anger and urgency to create spaces that reflected the needs of the individuals that use them. Below is a short excerpt of the introduction.
This handbook is dedicated to the rebels reclaiming space in the community. This guide is meant to encourage you to look critically at the world around you, and how it includes or excludes groups and individuals. I hope that it will encourage you to take action. To create spaces that are sorely needed. I myself am writing out of a sense of urgency. In my own community, we need a place that is rooted in inclusivity and care.
