How about a live stream in which 32 hours of Moomin books are read? We did it! Our group of readers consisted of 130 people: presidents, authors, musicians, sports people and influencers. Reading was carefully tailored for every reader. Every book got a visual world of its own and that brought an extra sprinkling to the reading. We produced over 60 short videos in advance for social media and our own platform. From Friday till Sunday we read all the original Moomin books, and our livefeed article followed the stream through the weekend. During the stream there was a live chat from start to finish, in which people shared their sentiments and supported readers. The reading marathon reached 1.8 million Finns. The live stream was followed for 400,000 hours. The chat received almost 26,000 messages.

«The hardest part is not to speak up. It's being heard.» Part video game, part graphic novel, "Wednesdays" seeks to raise awareness about child sexual abuse through a surprisingly hope-filled story. Like so many other children, Tim was a victim of sexual abuse. Twenty years later, "Orco Park", a video game from his youth, will bring his past back to him, and with it a host of questions: How could this have happened? Who could have seen it? How did it affect him when he was growing up? What is normal?

"Text me when you're home". A message sent out of love, and a sign that for many women the journey home feels anything but safe. In the evening or at night, women avoid certain streets, take longer routes, keep someone on the phone. To make this invisible reality visible, investigative journalism platform Pointer built an interactive map where women anonymously marked the places where they feel unsafe. The response was overwhelming: 13,000 women pinpointed 17,000 places. What had always been dismissed as "just a feeling" became a collective dataset. AI and human analysis uncovered a painful pattern: more than 80% of women never report incidents, because they believe nothing will happen anyway. The map was upgraded: women can now rate the areas flagged as unsafe and notify their municipality with one click. The map is the heart of a wider multimedia project: a documentary series, a YouTube series, an audio documentary and a range of viral social media content. For many, the map brought something equally powerful: you are not alone. It turns data into action, and individual experience into collective power.

Born in the Netherlands and trained at the Utrecht Art Academy in Digital Media Design. She makes interactive, transmedia stories in which the viewer is never a spectator, but always a player.

Endlessly curious about how the world is shifting, she asks not "what can this technology do?" but "what can it do for you?" With Text me when you're home, she points that question at safety in public space: a map that turns awareness into action to make the streets safer. |
