Educator
I, SHAPE OUR FUTURE THROUGH INNOVATION

I am a firm believer that artists are co-creators of realities, institutions, and politics—not just art. The next twenty years of Pluto demand that we tap into disruptive energies/ systemic ruptures, responding with agility and clarity. This is a time for radical imagination, for breaking silos.

"I believe innovation is rooted in imagination. I pledge to explore new creative technologies to tell stories that inspire empathy, provoke thought, and shape a more connected future."

Creative Director
I, SHAPE OUR FUTURE THROUGH ART

I am inspired by listening and learning about stories out of the "norm", out of the boundaries that society makes us believe we should also fit in. These stories help me reinvent myself and art is the medium that allows me to explore my boundaries respectfully to myself and other species.
