My column in Boekman Magazine #142
In this piece, I reflect on my journey from self-taught creator to cultural entrepreneur and director, exploring how the core values of culture—action, authenticity, and community—can be embraced within arts education.
Through examples from my work, I demonstrate how talent development, entrepreneurship, and social impact go hand in hand, and why it is crucial to recognize and support creators who dare to move beyond the beaten path.
What People Are Saying
“Wil altijd het beste geven,
Wil inspireren en laten leven,
Wil opbouwen niet breken,
Wil vertrouwen niet faken,
Wil samen creëren,
Wil van elkaar leren,
Wil grenzen verleggen,
Wil doen niet alleen zeggen”
— Jeremiah Durand
