Diandra de Lima knows what it takes to get an immersive project off the ground – and funded.

As Innovation & Partnerships Manager at FEDORA, Europe’s leading platform for opera and dance, she sits at the crossroads of cultural ambition and financial reality. She’s the person artists call when they need someone to actually make it happen.

With a background spanning cultural policy, international affairs, and arts funding, Diandra brings a rare mix: she understands the creative vision and the boardroom logic.

At ITW, she’ll talk about what it really takes to fund immersive work in Europe today. Practical, honest, and worth your time.
