Marieke Slovin is a participatory artist, writer, musician, and scholar. Marieke works to create and hold the space for people to become the author of their own narrative and to step into the role of composer and artist. To do this, she uses a participatory method of songwriting called Story-to-Song (STS), which she co-created during her time studying for her doctorate in Sustainability Education. Marieke has worked with people of all ages from all over the world, guiding in-person and virtual songwriting workshops. Marieke developed the “Migration Songs Project” with poet and writer Sarah Reader Harris, offering poetry and songwriting sessions for refugees and asylum seekers in Brussels from January 2017 to March 2020. This project was a finalist for the Amateo award for arts participation projects in Europe in 2021. Marieke is co-author of the book, “On the Move: Poems and Songs of Migration” (2020).
