Always learning. I did a bachelors Arts and Culture Studies at Erasmus University in Rotterdam. During this time I completed an exchange programme in philosophy and literature at National Taiwan University.
The Masters Intercultural Philosophy at Leiden University, has made a significant impact on my way of being in the world. I learned about how thinking and knowing is interwined with colonial histories, about Islamic philosophy and the interactions with Greek and Indian philosophies, about Buddhism and the multitude of interpretations, about African oral culture. During this time I was also active in the cultural sector. At Come Alive, an exhibition about eroticism as life force, I learned about organizing events in the cultural landscape. Around that time I started moderating at art events and developed my public speaking practice.
Today, I continue to learn in artistic environments: at my radioshow at Operator Radio speak with artists about topics they work on, working on publishing a poetry book with 50+ poets I learn about editing, printing and InDesign. Recently, I started setting up participatory art projects where I use philosophical conversations to create art.
