In September I launched philomuse. It is a project, an initiative, a hybrid, a proposal. I wanted to combine knowledge, desires, values, the inspirational things I've seen and learned during my studies and my professional life.

Philomuse is very ambitious in its goal, which is to connect creativity, learning and community for anyone interested, but it is also an expression of a trend that wants the arts to be socially engaged, and which has contributed to the rising phenomena of the workshop and the participatory art project. The focus of philomuse is rather cultural than purely artistic, however it dares to claim its presence within both worlds. Besides drawing inspiration from the latest models, it allows me to combine diverse skill sets that I have developed within the last two decades.

How will it be received? Will it be successful? What will my next steps be and will I manage to overcome my own limitations? Are the conditions right and what kind of audience will it reach? I can only dream of it as something that will grow roots and flourish in time.
