… Evaluating these values individually and collectively at the start of a project allows for maximizing engagement and minimizing harm.
Organizations that fuse multiple disciplines and engage in challenging, contemporary conversations are those I find most compelling. Groups like Meow Wolf, one step at a time like this, and Total Refusal are creating the kind of work I admire and aspire to create. Surprising, thought-provoking, and curious best describe the collaborations I find most gratifying.
Looking forward to making something extraordinary with you.
