MY ROLE

Production Assistant

Freshta is a musical project and album that honours the legacy of Freshta Kohistani, a passionate advocate for women’s rights and democracy in Afghanistan, who was tragically murdered by the Taliban in 2020 at the age of 29. Produced by Mark Lotz, the project is dedicated to female activists across Asia and Africa and originated as a composition commission by BumaStemra and the Federation of Dutch Jazz Festivals (VNJJ). Despite its somber origins, the music radiates hope and resilience, celebrating the strength of those who continue the fight for equality.

Executed ticketing, CD sales, and newsletter subscriptions for the Freshta tour at Beauforthuis, while managing photography and coordinating the concert build-up and build-off at the venue. Additionally, handled social media postings, including photography, content creation, editing, and scheduling.
