Impact stories
Founder Kaisha Woo speaks at the Social Enterprise Summit 2023 on using art and culture to promote social inclusion and enhance community wellbeing.
"In the simple act of body scan drawing, we begin to understand our bodies and emotions, peeling back the layers that often separate us from ourselves and each other. Social inclusion is about peeling off the layers of our differences, revealing the truth that we are already one, interconnected by our shared humanity."
