On March 15, 2025, I had the pleasure of meeting people from around the world at Culturgest in Lisbon, Portugal. The 18-speaker TEDxLisboa series was punctuated by breaks when people would come out an engage with my Nightly Noodle Monthly station, take a zine, have a chat, and add to the big writing prompts on the wall behind me on the paper that Pedro from TEDx purchased and set up for my interactive artist project centered on a zine inspired by the themes and speakers of the day. My childhood friend Allison came with and got these great shots! A special thank you to Marta Gonzaga for including me in the day’s programming, and to all the speakers for being so passionate about creating a more equitable, sustainable world to live in.
