_XPUB // highlights

from [illustrator] & [graphic designer] ▶ to [mixed-media] [artist, designer & facilitator]

_started using my illustration & graphic design skills for taking notes [now also on paper!], drafting ideas and concepts, observing, documenting, and keeping my references in handy
_started processing my visuals - playing with distorting, animating, and editing
_embraced my sound practice - went after my urgent need of working with sound and making that medium major in my practice + applied it in my individual and group work at XPUB2

... and started drafting a note with all the "great new practice things" i learned at XPUB and i want to keep in my practice in the future! <3

_XPUB1 // special issues

// about

_collective vs. individual work
During the special issues, I was constantly juggling between collective work, holding back, initiating things and individual needs & creations. Trying out all the options in different setups (whole group, small groups, pairs, alone) helped me understand the dynamics in the various situations, get to know my classmates' working style better and make better decisions for the next projects (especially this year).

_projects that built up to my master's project
In terms of medium, I realised that sound is really something truly important for me during special issue #18. The process of care-taking and contributing helped me realise that my facilitation practice is not in another dimension, but really a big part of my work as an artist and researcher. Thus, with the help of some of my classmates (such as Mitsa and Supi) and my tutors, I embarked on the journey to facilitate sound jams in XPUB2.
