With over 15 years as a cultural producer, I've seen a lot of struggle! I saw how often many artists and creators have limited access to local opportunities due to economic, geographical, or social barriers.
On my way, I realized the indispensable value of support from others and maintaining independence in creative expression. To address these challenges and support independent creators,
I founded INDPNDNT.
This initiative is born from a belief in the transformative power of art and a personal drive to nurture a vibrant, inclusive cultural environment. INDPNDNT is a reflection of my beliefs, a manifesto of vision for a world, where no one is unimportant, no one is insignificant.
