ARTEFACTING was a catalyst initiative I founded (2010-2017) that aimed to catalyze community cohesion, social organization & capacity through creating spaces for communities to create collectively.

The idea of for these spaces was to challenge social limitations and dominant narratives, and to support & advocate for marginalized at-risk populations through creative storytelling. Projects were born out of local partnerships and collaborative teams, providing energy, capacity, facilitation, vision and imagination to local movements or possibilities.

In each immersive project participants and collaborators were brought together through a process of discourse, creativity and cultural production to collectively envision. Out of this process came “Artefacts” (i.e. art, performances, photographs, film, exhibitions) to help materialize/visualize collective energy and voice stories and sources of inspiration.
