Role
Curating and Production

In 2023, I was invited by Stichting NDSM as Young Curator to curate an activation for IN TUNE, a sound art installation by Henk Schut. Henk's work explores the relationship between people and the urban environment through sound, and this project marked my first experience organizing a performance in public space.

Inspired by the themes of IN TUNE, I introduced a new layer—a voice to respond to the soundscape, expanding and challenging its underlying ideas. The collaboration with artist Ray Fuego felt inevitable. His single Infrarood//3:30AM captures the emotional imprint of living in Amsterdam, using “Infrarood” as a metaphor for the unseen yet deeply felt. This resonance with Henk’s work offered a powerful opportunity to explore the relationship between city and human experience from two distinct artistic perspectives.

The result was a spoken word performance by Ray Fuego, woven into the sound of IN TUNE—a moment of transference where a new artwork emerged. I conceptualized and produced the event, bridging generations and creative disciplines to reimagine Amsterdam's urban soundscape.
