Co-creating together with adults and children affected by monstrous circumstances or humanitarian disasters means the world to me. What I love facilitating creative experiences with displaced and disadvantaged communities is that there is no room for inequality or racism. We use art as a way to connect and share who we truly are regardless our previous backgrounds, language, gender, origin or limited beliefs.
