Sara Daniele Rivera is a Cuban/Peruvian artist, writer, translator, and educator. Her poetry and fiction have been published in a number of literary journals and anthologies. She was awarded a 2017 St. Botolph's Emerging Artist Award and won the 2018 Stephen Dunn Prize in Poetry.
Her drawings, sculptures, and community-based installations focus on text-in-space as social intervention, and her public art projects are often developed in collaboration with youth, who bring a really important perspective and voice to the question of who we are and who we're becoming.
What is possible for us as a society and the future we are building? Sara and I explore these questions of who we are as a species, the societies we’ve built, and where we’re headed through her own brilliant writing & poetry and through the writings of others.
