March 8, International womxn’s day. Time to take out the pirate in you and find your allies!

I am in debt to the ones before, in awe for the ones today and curious on the ones to come. Let’s be conscious and embrace awareness, not just today but everyday. In times of conflict, climate crisis and shrinking democratic space global gender equality diminishes even more. Speak up, reach out, change.

Thank you Mondriaan Fund for selecting me for one of the Aichi Triënnale vouchers 2025! Thank you Embassy of Japan in the Netherlands for this upcoming adventure!

I am honoured and grateful. If all goes well you find me in Japan in August/September 2025 (in Tokyo around September 10 and in Nagoya from 11-15 September).
