Veena Vasista

Originally from Chicago, Veena moved to Santa Fe in 2013 after twenty years of living in England. Primarily based in London during that time, she focused her work on embedding human rights principles into social policymaking. Since 2010, she has been working as a freelance writer, facilitator and mediator. Veena self-identifies as a Wake-Up Artist and Movement Maker, with a vocation to cultivate Beloved Community. In recent years, she has become particularly passionate about exploring the relationships between soul work, collaborative art-making and systems design/re-creation. This is the focus of her Equal Justice Residency and she has published articles about these relationships in OpenDemocracy. When Veena is not playing and experimenting in this arena, she can be found hiking, cooking family recipes, dancing, practicing the art of clowning and training to become a Feldenkrais Method teacher.
