I manage two key projects at TEH: Cultural Transformation Movement, which advances diversity in artistic practices and drives organizational change through the inclusion of underrepresented communities; and Co-PED: Community-Based Cultural and Social Centres as Incubators for Positive Energy Districts, which explores how cultural and social centers contribute to green urban transitions through Urban Living Labs. I am in charge of developing TEH’s relationship with the academic sector on social justice, spatial justice, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), and other topics relevant to underrepresented communities.
Contact me with ideas on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), Cultural Transformation Movement project, social transformation and democracy-related issues.
I coordinate Common Spaces and make sure that our network activities, events and capacity-building programs and advocacy activities run smoothly and meet the needs of our members. In addition, I co-produce TEH meetings with host centres that take place twice a year and bring 250+ cultural professionals from across Europe and beyond.
Contact me if you have a question regarding TEH meetings, networking opportunities, TEH self-learning resources, evaluation and other Common Spaces activities.
I lead the full communications function at Trans Europe Halles, shaping strategy and delivering day-to-day execution across membership communications, major network events (both offline like TEH Conferences and Camp Meetings), and EU-funded projects like CTMP, ZMINA, Co-PED etc. My tasks include overall TEH brand management, project-related visual identities and key messages, TEH web, social media and e-mailing channels management, various stakeholder and key audience engagement, purpose-driven campaigning and advocacy, as well as coordination with diverse partners across Europe.
I'm based in Malmö, south Sweden, where I’m contributing to event production for the TEH Meetings, working closely with Erika. I hold a degree in Fine Arts from Lisbon University and a Master’s in Leadership for Sustainability from Malmö University. My work and interests are all about the intersection of creativity, ecology, and system change. I’m passionate about exploring how artistic practices can support alternative ways of thinking and organising.

I’m working with Olga in TEH’s communications team supporting TEH’s communication efforts across different channels and platforms. I hold master’s degree in cultural heritage studies from the University of Helsinki, in Finland. In my studies I concentrated on impact analysis, grassroot-level cultural cooperation and dialogue. After working in communications and project coordination within cultural cooperation and popular science in Finland and Nordic cooperation in Greenland, I’m excited to get to learn more about TEH’s European wide efforts to bring cultural operators together.
