Catherine Laporte
Creative director, artist, farmer and immersive experience facilitator
Cath Laporte is inspired by the infinite potential everyone has. Her artistic approach is a way for her to open the blinders of our perceptions ever wider in order to push the limits of what we consider “true” on a daily basis. Drawings, setting up a cafe in Amsterdam based on a “pay what you feel” model, creative direction, immersive experiences, conferences, teaching and cultural facilitation, organic market gardening; all the projects she works on seek to explore, inspire and redefine the world of today in order to shape a present we want to evolve in. No matter what she does, for her, the eyes must be filled with beauty so that the mind can create softly. Revolution happens within.
