Finnish–Dutch culture worker, educator, and creative director. For nearly two decades I’ve built collective infrastructures across pedagogy, club culture, and social action – from Viral Radio to Progress Bar and Good Praxis – exploring how sound, image, and community can foster solidarity, joy, and climate action.
PRAXIS STATEMENT
I work by paying attention to what is becoming.
My practice begins with listening – to sound, situations, relations, and moments when something becomes itself before we name it.
I am interested in what is structurally alive, even when it is still fragile, partial, or opaque.
I have been trained – by community – to sense when people, ideas, or practices are about to matter, before they are widely legible.
My work is not to accelerate this emergence, but to create the conditions in which it can take place with care.
My work is compositional: I assemble relations that can act together, and I leave when they begin to settle.
This allows me to stay responsive rather than invested in ownership, authorship, or visibility.
I am less interested in holding things than in helping them circulate, connect, and continue.
Over time, this has meant letting go – of projects, names, platforms, positions, money, credit, and control – when their energy begins to repeat.
I prefer to move on when curiosity fades, and to make space for others when a form has done its work.
I value relation over recognition, continuity over accumulation, and responsibility over status.
I have often chosen to remain partially unseen so that others, or the work itself, could come into focus.
This way of working has allowed me to stay close to practices that are alive rather than fixed, and to work alongside people who are still becoming themselves.
It is an approach shaped by trust, attention, and a willingness to not be central.
My praxis is not about producing outcomes, but about maintaining the conditions in which something meaningful can emerge, change, and pass on, without being prematurely captured.
I am not trying to represent a better world but to enact its logic in the present.
