Monique Schiess
Cape Town, South Africa
After seven years in the desert Monique has a doctorate in driving rebar pegs into rock and shale, a phd in the economics of artistic chaos and wrangling itinerant misfits and renegades. One of the original and still active coordinators of AfrikaBurn, she sees herself as a fire starter, an instigator and incubator of creative projects across the board. She makes sport of poking people in their creative ribs. She believes that fun and waking up creativity is a most powerful vector for change.
