Dear All! It has been a while since our last Blogpost- and much has happened. Our Crowdfunding Project unfortunately collided with the Ukrainian refugee crisis, and not all on the team were living the vision of an all-inclusive event that would foster community, and free expression. Our team was slimmed down from around 20 to two, and eventually, the Flashmob Project was discontinued. Not buried.. but let's say we re-oriented. This re-orientation led to the creation of a Fashion Empowerment Tour Format on Airbnb, a workbook and questionnaire. As well as some fashion-related v-logs on YouTube, and myself studying for...

Why do companies sponsor Youth projects?

Preface: why we conducted this research Mid-summer 2021, this ENFJ-type personality decided to start a Youth NGO. The new organizational format served to "marry" my artistic talent and my competency in helping others grow, honed over more than 20 years (for free, in my spare time).  The idea for our novel, interactive Flashmob had existed as a single event since November 2019, when I had first pitched it to my local embassy for funding.

Since Vitruvian Vision is a grassroots project on a very limited budget, with limited staff and resources, shit is bound to happen.

Authority Magazine Interview

Authority Magazine Interview Here is my interview for Authority Magazine. We also shot a video for it: The interview was my most deep and comprehensive so far. The plan was to have Arsenijs (=our electronics guy and technical co-founder) on board (and answer their questions together), but Latvia is in a short of Lockdown, and me my photographer Lara Pucko couldn't make it to Riga in time. So, once again dear reader, I am the one on the front, and in the trenches. ;) We won't get to update the team page until in the third week of November, so...

New Interview

Yesterday's interview with a Russian songwriter and psychologist, Maxim Efimov. I enjoyed this- finally someone appreciative, and knowledgeable on "my topics": art, psychology, spirituality. The Original was 2 hours of flow that passed in a heartbeat. The only thing I did not get to talk about is how the technology fit into the wholistic band concept. Enjoy!
