(she/her)
About: I'm a visual storyteller and community organizer working at the intersection of art and animal liberation. Through my platform @the_cataloger, I document stray cat welfare and use imagery, writing, and design to shift public perception and inspire action. I’m currently based in Greece, where I lead communications for the country’s largest community cat care initiative. My work blends grassroots activism with creative disruption, using art as both resistance and invitation. I believe in the power of collective care, visual noise, and making the invisible impossible to ignore.
Presentation — The Walls Are Alive: Disruptive Art for Liberation
The Walls Are Alive: Disruptive Art for Liberation is a hands-on workshop exploring guerrilla art as a tool for animal liberation. Participants will be introduced to the history and tactics of visual resistance—stenciling, subvertising, and street messaging—used to disrupt dominant narratives. Drawing from my own work documenting stray cat welfare through @the_cataloger, I’ll guide attendees in designing their own activist stencils. Together, we’ll create bold visual statements that can live on walls, in streets, and in minds. No artistic experience needed—just a passion to challenge injustice and make the unseen visible.
