Joya: AiR / Eline Boon / BEL

I firmly believe in the intersection of Art & Science as a catalyst for change, enabling us to confront the complex challenges of our time. Through my writing, I aim to dismantle barriers, ignite fresh perspectives, and address pressing issues that demand our attention. Too often, discussions about change unfold in secluded ivory towers, silencing many voices. My objective is to disrupt this exclusivity by serving as a translator, making complex issues and scientific concepts accessible to all through clear language.

During my residency at Joya: AiR, I was fully immersed in writing. The tranquil environment, supportive community and inspiring hosts, Simon & Donna, provided the perfect backdrop for me to focus on my work. Nestled in the mountains, surrounded by nature and inspiring individuals, I experienced a profound sense of alignment and was brimming with creative inspiration.
