PUBLIC PROGRAMMES: DESERT X ALULA ‘24
CONSULTANCY for TheAimes
During the 2024 edition of Desert X AlUla, I worked within the Programming team to bring ambitious public activations to life. My role involved balancing the needs of over 20 international artists and facilitators with the logistical demands of a desert environment. I worked closely on community-focused workshops, including incense making with Karola Braga and cyanotype photo printing with Tamara Kalo, ensuring these sessions resonated with the local audience. From coordinating Ibrahim Mahama’s talks to managing the technical intricacies of Tino Sehgal’s site-specific performance, I ensured that every workshop, talk, and musical act, including those by Cheb Rocky and SEERA was executed with precision and professional care.
