About Janhavi

A cultural (difference) mediator with a solid background in Philosophy (BA, MA, MPhil) coupled with an Artistic Research doctorate focusing on empathy, I facilitate human interactions in the hope of transforming society- one conflict at a time. As a social Sculpture practitioner, I believe that "every human being is an artist" and strive towards personal, professional and social transformation. My rigorous dance training for over 15 years has instilled a keen aesthetic for life which is enhanced by understanding 'aesthetic' (that which enliven us) as the opposite of an-aesthetic (that which numbs, deadens us). With an inherent curiosity of and sensitivity towards all cultures, I am inspired to bring my expertise to co-create non-hierarchical spaces for experiential learning.
