Music performance
Live music performance shaped by her own journey of profound maternal loss. Using synths, voice, and field recordings, she translates into sound memoirs of personal grief, despair and hope. It is also a meditation on collective mourning and resilience surrounding fertility and pregnancy.

Drawing workshop ‘Fertile Soil’
This workshop invites you to connect to the topic of fertility through drawing and conversation. Moving gently between sound, conversation, and guided drawing, we explore the body and imagination as a source of inspiration and expression. Charcoal and primal colors become tools to trace what arises, fleeting thoughts, gestures and emotions. We begin by meeting and getting to know each other. From there, the session unfolds as a collective journey: drawing as a way of listening, of noticing, and of sharing. Tea, nurturing snacks, and a relaxed atmosphere support this moment of exchange and artistic discourse about this sensitive topic of fertility and motherhood.
This is a paid workshop
