founder
LENSart - active culture
A curatorial duo that promotes an active culture through the encounter between visual arts, neurodiversity and social responsibility.
Since 2019 we have been creating experiences that celebrate authenticity and atypical forms, stimulating a cultural movement that involves minds and bodies in an open and inclusive way.
Every lens through which we observe the world is a tool to reveal new perspectives, building a community that grows together, sharing ideas and the beauty that comes from meeting differences.
