“Gaza Grows for the White Kites,” Art, Alixa García.

Alixa García is a Colombian-born, globally-raised, multidisciplinary artist, award-winning poet, climate organizer, and filmmaker. She is a published author, exhibited visual artist, facilitator, and cultural strategist. Her performances and keynotes have taken her around the globe, from South Africa to Mexico, the U.K. to Cuba, and beyond. She has presented at hundreds of universities, conferences, and festivals, including Harvard University, the United Nations, and T.E.D: Ideas Worth Spreading. With a 23-year background in community organizing, artistic and popular education, a lead thinker in creative strategies for social movements, facilitator, and international speaker, Alixa's expertise has been instrumental in supporting justice leaders, scholars and students, community activists and organizations, state representatives, and the nonprofit sector to realize their potential in the areas of creative blueprinting, trans-local and global organizing, and environmental education. Her unique approach centralizes art for movement building and the role of imagination as an essential tool for liberation. Alixa is also a sought-after visual artist. Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, CA; the Kunsthal KAdE Museum, Netherlands; and The Pop-Up Museum in New York, NY, to name a few. Her website is www.alixagarcia.com.
