GLENDA PATTIPEILOHY

CO-FOUNDER BEYOND WALLS, EDUCATOR, COMMUNITY CONNECTOR, PROGRAM MAKER

Glenda Pattipeilohy is an educator, event producer, curator and creative communicator with one mission: raising collective awareness of untold stories and knowledge from (and thus empathy because of) these untold stories for our fellow humans.

As a cultural professional she produces and co-curates public programs like Heritage in Motion and projects like AMI in the cultural sector and beyond. Her background lies in the Arts, Fashion design and communications (BA). Glenda uses fashion design as a way to spark critical conversations on sustainability and identity. Glenda worked on projects with a diverse array of designers, photographers and stylists throughout the Netherlands, New York and London. She participated in different projects during Dutch Design Week like Heyniek, de Modebelofte, Popcore presents ABRA and CosmoV. In 2019 she completed the summer school Art as Politics at BAK. In 2015 she graduated with a cross-media exhibition: The Forgettables. With this multidisciplinary project her aim was to raise awareness about injustices that are still happening today in the pacific and West Papua. Glenda is active in education, talent development and empowerment projects for children and young adults.

Glenda tries to go back to the Moluccas every year to continue her sustainable empowerment project she initiated with her friends of Moluccas Coastal Care in Maluku. #maribaikooo (Let’s join us) is her motto.
