Founding board member
Clymene has a long history of international cultural development, working with artists, cultural organisations, communities and policy makers. She has led on a number of international cultural programmes, most recently including Contested Desires, a Creative Europe programme that explores perspectives on European colonisation, ACT (Artists Connecting in Transition), supporting artists in exile in Cyprus, Turkey, Jordan and the UK, and (Re)Grounding, working with artists from Ukraine to explore environmental and cultural contexts shaped by mining histories in Ukraine, Cyprus and the UK.
Clymene is well networked across the European cultural field. She is a Board Member of On the Move, which supports artists and professionals to operate internationally, and an active member (former presidium member) of Culture Action Europe. She advocates putting art and culture at the heart of public debate and decision-making; and has put this into practice through her work as trainer for the British Council to develop cultural partnerships between the UK and Ukraine, and as Lead Expert for UCLG’s Pilot Cities and Eleusis 2023, a project that helps cities to develop their cultural policies to support sustainable development. She is an inaugural member of Disorderly Women – the Alliance of Women Leaders in Culture.
She is an expert in the field of artist residencies and is a former Board Member of Res Artis, the worldwide network of artist residencies across 70 countries.
