The Brief
Design and deliver a large-scale, international program that could hold experimental film, performance, installation, and publishing within a single coherent public experience.

What I Led

  • Managed the full production timeline from open call through public presentation
  • Coordinated international artists across time zones, formats, and technical needs
  • Led installation planning and technical delivery in collaboration with venue staff
  • Art directed and produced the accompanying publication, aligning print design with the live program
  • Oversaw public-facing flow, audience experience, and event pacing

Outcome

  • Strong international participation and visibility
  • Successful integration of exhibition, live program, and publication
  • Established a repeatable production model for future large-scale programs
