04/2016-12/2020 _ Between 2016 and 2020 I was the co-organiser of the weekly public portrait drawing class
"MenschenMalen" at Bürgerhaus Stollwerck in Cologne. In April 2016, Luis Manrique-Engels, Christian Cardeneo,
Corinna Giessen and me founded the portrait drawing meeting on a whim. We knew
each other from nude drawing classes and wanted to do something on our own.
Until the end of 2020 we organised about 240 evenings together. =)
Chris and Luis are also continuing the class in 2021 on their own, it's worth a visit!

In addition to the evenings, we realized the following exhibitions & projects:
12/2018 _ publication of our first book "Menschenmalen 2016-2018" with works by 20 artists
12/2018 _ group exhibition "Winter Ausstellung #3" @ Silvanstr., Köln-Südstadt
04/2018 _ group exhibition "Menschen malen Menschen" @ Café Gloria Theater, Köln-Innenstadt
12/2017 _ group exhibition "Winter Ausstellung #2" @ Silvanstr., Köln-Südstadt
07/2017 _ group exhibition during the Körnerstraßenfest @ bunker k101, Köln-Ehrenfeld
12/2016 _ group exhibition "Winter Ausstellung #1" @ Silvanstr., Köln-Südstadt
