ARTEFACTING was a catalyst initiative founded by Alex White Mazzarella (2010-2017) that aimed to catalyze community cohesion, and social organization & capacity through create spaces for to create collectively.

I designed “Artefacting” as a creative practice to challenge social limitations and dominant narratives, and as virtual and itinerant space to support & advocate for marginalized at-risk populations through multi-media storytelling. Projects were born out of local partnerships and collaborative teams, providing energy, capacity, facilitation, vision and imagination to local movements.

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.
