Ivana Dama
My name is Ivana Dama and I’m a media artist currently living and working in Los Angeles. As an artist it is very important to be represented in the media and to share with the world about upcoming projects or exhibitions. Unfortunately, it is not very easy to do so since most of the magazines are promoting the mainstream entertainment and they are less supportive when it comes to young and developing artists.
I came to the United States from a small country in Europe, Serbia and ever since then I’m trying to not only learn and experience as much as I can, but also to share my knowledge and my story with young people through different teaching and educational programs.
We must find other ways to tell our stories besides media and we need to know that we are not alone in this.
Narrative Plenitude is a global discussion that aims to project more authentic depictions of underrepresented communities in order to break past the one-size fits all story cycle told by mainstream media. What’s your narrative? Please email tanya.raukko@intertrend.com, if you would like to have your story featured.
