As long as you stay curious, life will take interesting turns

What is your background?

When I was 19 years old, I moved to Brussels to study history with a minor in political science because I thought I needed to understand the world before I could tell anything about it. Now I found more inner peace to be selfish and follow my passion, photography.

​

What do you do for Subba?

I help to prepare a new project.

​

What's your favourite way to spend your leisure time?

I enjoy theatre a lot but nothing beats the Marollen on a Sunday. After nosing a bit myself, I end my visits with an onion soup at Le Chineur, watching people stroll by, wondering who they are and what they picked from the piles.

​

Name the best record you listened to in the last ten years.

An American Prayer by Jim Morrison is such a poetic and adventurous classic… Its elusive playfulness really attracts me. In a strange way, it makes me both happy and sad.

​

Where were you in life ten years ago?

I made my first big solo trip to Australia, an intriguing experience with a lot of odd characters. Very different from what I had prepared for. I would love to do a project about it.

​

What advice would you give your ten-year-old self?

Try to value your hobbies a bit more because it is an immense privilege to be able to feed yourself at such a young age. I really didn’t have a clue at the time, it seemed obvious in my world.

"Try to value your hobbies a bit more"

How did you first find out about Subbacultcha?

I can't quite remember because it has been some time but I think through friends.

​

What was the best event organised by Subba in the last ten years?

I went to the Sound of the Belgian Underground at Ancienne Belgique last February where a high school friend (@dushime) performed. Seeing her follow her passion through hard work is inspiring. Interesting to see how lives evolve.

​

What is the most valuable thing you have learnt in the last ten years?

As long as you stay curious, life will take interesting turns.

​

Have you noticed any shifts in Subba over the years?

I think it has become more inclusive and at the same time more local.
