Since 2019, I have worked as a nightlife awareness/harm reduction organizer, first as a core member of the awareness team at Nowadays and later as the co-founder and producer of the awareness programs at Sustain-Release, Return to the Source/No Way Back and Horst Arts & Music Festival.
To share these ideas more broadly, in 2020 I created the community events program at Nowadays, for which I produced and hosted over 40 workshops, panels, screenings, trainings and other off-dancefloor gatherings focused on community skill-building. In 2022, I co-developed and facilitated the Horst Music Lab, a four-day workshop on harm reduction, bystander intervention, assault prevention and related skills for the next generation of European nightlife professionals.
In 2024 I joined the team at Light & Sound Design, a DIY venue in Greenpoint, where I manage event marketing, book shows and serve as editor in chief of our print-only zine. L&SD is also the home of Writing on Raving, a literary reading series I co-founded in 2022 with Geoffrey Mak and McKenzie Wark, with an anthology from O/R Books published in May 2025.
I am always delighted to consult with music event producers, particularly in electronic music, about creating and implementing harm reduction programs, and to speak on these topics for panels, podcasts and the press.
