Tour
Summer 2026 // A Hand-Made Rebellion
In an age where AI can dream a thousand images in a minute, I choose the meticulous discipline of crafting by hands. In summer 2026, I am making art personally and going on an creative barter tour across Europe to meet YOU.
I am an artist with the planing precision of an IT Project Manager and the soul of a creative hobby collector. And I am tired of social media, AI slop and the extreme negativity everywhere. I believe in connection, meeting people. And I hope this small moment will bring a lasting positive memory to you (and me) in 2026. The Art Barter Coffee Tour is a cross-border experiment in non-transactional exchange between likeminded creatives. I am traveling to 13 cities (and nearby locations) to trade my artworks for a physical manifestation of your creative world over a cup of coffee.

ART. I bring an artwork for you. You bring one in exchange: drawing, ceramics, poem, embroidery, whatever you make.
B
BARTER. We exchange our handcrafted pieces of art. No money is involved.
C
COFFEE. We get to know each other in 30 – 60 minutes in a local cafe. Maybe create something new together alongside.
