Back to original languageAbout Mathilde
A graduate of Sciences Po Bordeaux, I have been designing, developing, and managing cultural, artistic, and event projects in France and internationally for nearly 10 years.
Specializing in the production, coordination, and development of cultural and artistic projects, I support institutions, festivals, artists, collectives, and organizations in achieving their ambitions, from the initial idea to operational implementation.
My career has led me to manage artistic creation programs, coordinate music and film festivals, develop artist residencies, create event scenography, and design and produce international shows and events. Among my references: Festival de Cannes, Institut français (Paris and Lisbon), Le Plus Petit Cirque du Monde, Les Eveillés (Gaité Lyrique, Cité Fertile... // Jeff Mills, Agar Agar, Jacques...), Merveilles (Cabaret Sauvage / Horde).
I specialize in:
• Artistic programming (music, performing arts, performances, design...)
• Scenography and storytelling for cultural experiences
• Production of cultural and artistic events
• Partnership development, patronage, and funding
• International deployment strategy
• Budget management and operational oversight
• Structuring teams, processes, and management tools
My strength: creating a dialogue between strategic vision, creativity, and operational excellence to transform ambitious ideas into concrete, unifying, and sustainable projects.
