I’m very excited to have been asked to be part of the We Are Europe activities for 2020 alongside a number of people whose work I really admire.

We Are Europe, the European cooperation project that was launched in 2015  is embarking a new 3-year cycle (2019-2021) under the auspices of the Creative Europe programme. Having presented 24 events over the course of the last 3 years, inviting 255 artists and 245 speakers to appear in front of more than a million people in 8 countries, We Are Europe is ready to write a new chapter in its history!

 

The 8 artistic teams that make up the cooperation have come together once more, this time to choose its fine selection of 64 personalities from across Europe : male and female who inspire us and we want to make discover to the largest audiences.

 

They are artists, journalists, coders, philosophers, researchers, scientists, activists, film makers, geographers, multimedia artists and designers… they are 32 artists and 32 personalities, they are the cultural figures that We Are Europe will invite to appear at its 8 events, held throughout Europe. By giving this generation a new platform for expression, We Are Europe hopes to arouse the curiosity of audiences and to inspire new collaborations.

I’ll be attending the European Lab Forum in Lyon in May, which runs in parallel with the excellent Nuits Sonores music festival. Can’t wait!

Nadav Kander

A few weeks back, researching people for Strrr TV, I was reminded of the photographer Nadav Kander. I first came across his work when a former girlfriend brought me to see his show 'Yangtze, The Long River' back in 2010. By chance, early this year I walked by Flowers...

WeTransfer’s A Message From Earth – Music Section

In November, for the 40th anniversary of NASA’s Golden Record project, I produced the music section for WeTransfer’s A Message From Earth. 

The brief was wonderfully broad; programming, producing and delivering a music section which attempts to reflect the diversity of music on planet earth, and explore the experience of musicians today. 

Strrr TV

Since finishing at Mistral Productions, I've linked up with Daniel Brandt and the Berlin team at Strrr TV, working as their UK editor. It's been a lot of fun so far,  allowing me to use my audio and video production background, whilst getting to research, contact and...

Timothy Morton

Whilst doing some research for future potential Strrr TV guests, I'd ended up on the Studio Olafur Eliasson website. Olafur Eliasson is an Icelandic-Danish artist known for sculptures and large-scale installation art employing elemental materials such as light, water,...

Taz Tron Delix

A few weeks back I came across the work of Taz Tron Delix, a London-based director. His work with JD. Reid, Novelist and Oscar #Worldpeace is great. He's got a piece for Adidas out right now as well. Having researched his stuff, I then bumped into him in the pub the...
