BIO/ STATEMENT:
my art_ is a passage through every wall ETE UWU // it intertwines different root Ethnology To feel as human beings we have to know + understand our cultural determination + Art to express emotional + interlacual thinking in the plurality of languages. In our global world we have the chance despite the discrepancy between cultural determinate master narratives + our lived experiences, to open an opportunity for expressing, communicating, transforing >> for happiness as I believe that this is the way for democracy
