I was in charge of the creative process as well as the execution of the design. I made the production schedule, handled the budget and bought the materials necessary to create the space. I coordinated about the production of the festival spaces with three different music venues, all whilst having a continuous dialogue about our concept, budget and progress together with the creators of the electronic music festival. The aesthetic was based on the festival’s brand and color scheme as well as inspired by the previous curators and experience designers’ work. The concept was inspired by the season (winter) during which the festival took place, the clubbing and rave aesthetic and the two artists’ own visual style. SPARK* was an electronic music festival that focused on upcoming artists, niche genres in electronic music and diversity and equality in the music industry, specifically the issue of the lack of representation of female artists as well as in the Danish music business landscape.

The exhibition named “Nutidens forbrug -Fremtidens problem”, which was open during 2019, focused on the 11th sustainability goal and how the younger generations engage the climate crisis. During my internship I specifically helped with the concept development of the design of the exhibition and research, for example looking for potential partners that could be involved in the exhibition project. I also worked with a project about the sustainability goals, in English titled "sustainability goals walk at Skoldungernes land", a project that we worked on in collaboration with the national park Skjoldungernes Land. I worked with ideation and concept development in terms of to how the project, which was a big event in the national park, could be designed, realized and anchored. Not only as a singular event, but a year-long event, and how we together with the local community as well as national actors, could make a real impact and create a good build-up for the event before and after, all in pursuit of creating awareness about the sustainability goals as well as making people act and take ownership of the problems we, as a global society, are facing. My mentors Pernille Sander and Karin Gottlieb gave me a recommendation, in which the following is written: “Cecilie is very thorough and engaging. She has had a structured work approach and we have been very pleased with working together with her.” Show less
