Passing the Paintbrush
I created three educational audio documentaries on Lotte Laserstein, Gertrude Sandmann, and Toni Ebel, producing the podcast “Passing the Paintbrush.” Alongside the podcast I facilitated a historical and practical art workshop each artist this fall. This is a project hosted by the Spinnboden Lesbian Archive (https://spinnboden.de/) and funded by Demokratie in Der Mitte’s Aktionsfund (https://demokratie-in-der-mitte.de/foerderung/zentrum/). www.passingthepaintbrush.wordpress.com

Gad Beck Research and Grave Cleaning/ Ehrengrab Project
I currently clean Gad Beck’s grave located at the Jewish cemetery in Charlottenburg. If you wish to help with this effort or donate flowers or stones please write to me for the location. I am working to get Gad’s grave recognized as a grave of honor, and writing a report for this cause. Any help with this is also appreciated

Magnus Hirschfeld Audio Documentary
I made this for the constellations festival in March of 2023. It was a magical event where I also distributed a zine that you can order here . I designed this audio documentary to connect us with the past in a way that helps ground us in the importance of telling these stories now.
Here is the documentary –https://constellations-archive.net/archive/imagine-yourself-as-the-mushroom
Mushroom Memorial Gardens
For my 2022 Thesis Project called “Fruiting Bodies” I planted over a dozen gardens of mushrooms with colonized mycelium throughout Berlin in places I wished to memorialize through mushrooms/as a commentary to the memorial already in place at the site. Some of the species I planted are elfcups, oysters, lions mane, shitake, birch polypore, reishi, and more! A complete list is avaliable if you contact me.
