Storytelling & Narrative Change
We believe in the transformative power of stories and narratives to reshape perspectives, challenge established norms, and inspire action. Our goal in supporting creative projects, such as film, visual arts, and media, is to raise awareness, foster understanding, encourage meaningful dialogue, and promote social change. We prioritize centering stories by and about women and other emerging voices of our day.
