What We Did

In collaboration with Nafisa Kaptownwala and Hawa Amin-Arsala, we created ‘re.sourced,’ an Instagram talk series that pairs experts and individuals across fields and disciplines to engage in meaningful dialogue about our current moment as global citizens. As the tides shift during the COVID-19 pandemic, we were looking for creative ways to make sense of the world and the systems that guide it. We did this by centering those on the front lines, collaborating with community-oriented initiatives, and listening to those most affected. This series was brought to life through the beautiful design work and art direction of Isabel Castillo Guijarro, who created video graphics and social media templates. 

Our Alchemy

As a creative studio, we always seek to get to the truth, and this passion project allowed us to offer alternative resources while collectively dreaming about how to fill the gaps revealed by rapid social shifts. The power of this project came out of seeing our community donate their time and talent to bring this to life.
