Mentorship - Arts & Creative Practice - Sohohouse Barcelona - Routes In

After more than three decades working across the art world — galleries, collections, international collaborations and complex cultural projects — I occasionally offer mentorship within the broader arts sector.

While my foundation is in contemporary art, my experience spans cultural ecosystems: positioning, networks, institutions, visibility and long-term sustainability. The creative industries may look fluid from the outside, but they operate through structure, trust and access.

Mentorship is offered selectively and subject to availability.

I am currently engaged as a mentor within the Soho Mentorship Programme, run by Routes In in partnership with Soho House. The programme operates across several European cities, including Barcelona, and connects established industry professionals with emerging creatives from underrepresented or lower socioeconomic backgrounds.

Routes In is a non-profit foundation working to redistribute opportunity in the creative industries. In collaboration with Soho House Barcelona and the wider Soho House network, the programme creates structured access to knowledge, networks and confidence-building.

My current mentee is a young Brazilian singer based in Barcelona — part of a new generation navigating identity, artistry and international positioning in a rapidly shifting cultural landscape. The dialogue moves beyond discipline. We discuss voice, authorship, strategic direction, exposure and longevity.

This is what mentorship in the arts should be: not instruction, but calibration.

The creative field rewards talent — but it runs on clarity, positioning and resilience. Structured guidance can accelerate understanding of how the system actually works.
