Last year was the busiest year in my art and activism career. I was pleasantly surprised to receive an invitation to collaborate with talented artists from around the world for the global climate change conference, COP28, in Dubai. The Artivist Network has been one of the leading organizations working to mobilize actions for this important event.
Simultaneously, I received an invitation to present my paper on art and culture's role in climate mitigation.

As an artivist (artist and activist) for COP28, I was tasked with creating various works, including posters, banners, placards, props, and other related materials for the events throughout the two weeks of COP28 in Dubai. This was a fantastic opportunity to collaborate with fellow artists from different parts of the world.
