DAIARA TUKANO
I believe that activism is an exercise in conscience, so that we can work together and cultivate a more just and respectful society for diversity, honoring the dignity of all beings. There are several paths to this: art, education, political and social relationships, as well as our quest for a deeper understanding of the universe.
These are some proposals for activities that we can develop together, with different people and groups in schools, universities or on the street. Contact for more information.
