Cultural ManagerStockholm, Sweden
About me
I am a freelance Cultural Manager working at the intersection of arts, creativity and innovation. I have 10 years of experience in developing and delivering international and European projects across disciplines with a focus on new media arts, dance and theatre. My expertise is based on bringing together organisations of different scales and sectors around a creative vision to build sustainable partnerships and enable innovative collaborations to flourish. In the UK, in France and at EU level I have enjoyed collaborating with a wide range of actors including artists and creatives, culture organisations, digital and tech SMEs, national funding organisations, Embassies, the EU Commission, local NGOs, Universities etc. I'm a strong advocate of the role of creativity and diversity in social, cultural and economic change.
