About Me
I am part of a movement of politically active creatives in Zurich who fight for the integration of diverse communities into cultural positions of recognition and respect. We share a commitment to providing safer spaces, diversity of cultural programming, financial opportunities, and empowerment for those with whom we are in solidarity. We recognize the urgent need to take refuge in spaces for those dominated by racism, sexism, misogyny, trans hostility, xenophobia, ableism, and classism.
Each of my projects is focused on driving sustainable cultural change by shifting paradigms of behavior in cultural settings - in particular, providing resources within event contexts that ensure the safety of those who are most vulnerable to social, physical, or emotional harm. Racism, sexual harassment or assault, trans hostility or violence, or class or migration based discrimination which occurs in a nightlife setting is a highly politically charged and relevant moment. These experiences have the capacity to traumatize and harm, to alienate and humiliate, demonstrating and manifesting extraordinarily dangerous attitudes and behaviors. In my view it is the moral responsibility of institutions and venues to protect their guests from these experiences, to the best of their ability. However, it remains a challenge for many venues and institutions to implement the changes necessary to prevent these potentially life altering experiences from taking place.
Fundamentally, my work is defined by dedication to providing safer alternatives for enjoying cultural experiences and connections; to providing knowledge, skills, and resources, as well as visibility and respect in the hopes of making FLINTAQ, POC, and migrants less vulnerable to social domination. Through various events and cultural projects, I seek opportunities to build sustainable social as well as financial support for communities I care about. I build teams to suit the needs of each project, and strive to compensate all who contribute their labor, knowledge, and skills. I welcome inquiries exploring collaborative opportunities. I offer various consulting services such as, project management, event hosting and coordination, awareness strategy, human resources, communications and promotional support.
