Sarah Neutkens (*Eindhoven, 1998) advises you to not take this CV thing too seriously. She is currently working on many things, ranging from books, compositions, artworks, theatre projects, political activism to writing as a journalist, taking a walk, seeing friends and arranging some stones on her kitchen table. She left her ambitions somewhere mid 2024 and is now living instead of watching people live. If you do find CV’s very important and wish to know what Sarah has been up to (which does not at all imply that she is still up to these things and does not tell a thing about what she doing now), feel free to take a look at the not-so-updated CV below.
You can always contact her through the email address mentioned on the ‘Contact’ page.
