Anna Kaminska, Arts and Crafts teacher.

Describe her work in one word: Glowing.

I met Oyuki the first time in 2009 when the city of Lund was candidating to become European Capital of Culture 2014. Oyuki was my mentor and project leader for a project inside the Lund 2014 called "Styr Upp".

The collaboration with Oyuki really opened my eyes for how big, unlimited and creative the culture world is. Directly she made me a part of it by lifting and boosting my skills and challenging my thinking about what creativity is and how we integrate it in our lives. Her engagement permeated the entire project of "Styr Upp", she always listened, brainstormed ideas together and gave feedback.

I specifically remember one time when I got stuck, out of ideas. Oyuki helped me structure up my thinking, took me to a cultural festival in Malmö, and then she gave me this book called "Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite". These things summarizes the collaboration with Oyuki very good. She is perceptive, reconnects to me and always gave me a continued push forward. And seven years later, I still got that book.

Her best skills are that she is engaging, creative and incredibly knowledgeable.
