In 2009, I co-founded Studio Babel with Annemieke Gerrist. Together with three others, we form a interdisciplinary creative collective. Our studio is located in Kostgewonnen, a former squat that is now a bustling cultural hub in Amsterdam West.
In the same year, I also co-founded the Aporia foundation, platform for productive questioning. Van Gogh Everywhere and the Troublemakers are two online interactive projects initiated by this collective.
Besides this, I am currently working for the VPRO and submarine as a screenwriter.
I am an active crew member at the Schijnheilig (a nomadic gallery) and Damoclash (a performing arts festival), both initiatives serving to create space for autonomous cultural events in Amsterdam.
Trained mainly in cultural anthropology, philosophy and cultural analysis, I vowed to cease being a consumer of knowledge. I am a constructive troublemaker, working along the cracks between theory and practice, making music, installations, web-based projects, videos, paintings and texts.
