Gabriela Bustamante
CREATOR
As a designer and design lecturer, my approach to design is based on a reflective practice where taking it slow is a good thing, and that produces tangible results. I have a preference for involving people in the design process: sharing knowledge, exploring and learning together, while actively trusting projects to take their course without the need for my control or signature. I strive to never make collaboration a one-way street. The context of my practice is centered around social design and crafts, and where materiality is used as a means of research. I am interested in observing and inquiring into the identity and/or the role that us -people- develop over time and how this impacts society.

Diana Benitez
MICRO-STORIES WRITER
Teacher, screenwriter, playwright and researcher. I have dedicated a large part of my life to expressing myself through words and I believe that, even if the world does not change in an instant, words always bring us closer, they question us, they lead us to reflection; Maybe that's where I could start to change the world. I am interested in the characters, always with a host of stories behind them, and focusing our attention on the characters is like discovering our own reality. Collaborating in this project visualizing each story fills me with satisfaction, because everything materializes: commitment, tradition and design.

Johnny Lafer
PHOTOGRAPHER
As a creator who grew up in a small village in Germany, I bring a unique perspective to my design and photography approach. I strive to create visual experiences that not only captivate audiences but also tell a story that resonates with them. My passion for innovation and technical expertise is the driving force behind every project I undertake. I am constantly looking for new ways to experiment and push the boundaries of what's possible. Whether I'm working on a branding project, a photo shoot, or a motion design piece, I always keep my eye on the details and strive to deliver a final product that exceeds expectations.
