[sound art residency coordination]
During the academic year 2022-2023, I was a coordinator of the student-led initiative and in-house residency “Room for Sound” at Willem de Kooning Academy (Rotterdam, the Netherlands). The invitation to the students and staff was to use the residency to experiment with sound as a new or not primary medium in their design and art practice. As a care-taker of the residency, I expanded my research on collective sound-making practices and developed my facilitation and tuition skills.
The residency was created by artist and educator Naomi Jansen who invited me to take over the coordination. During my time as a care-taker, we started to collaborate and facilitated together several elective classes at Willem de Kooning Academy.
