About me: Latoyah Burlace

I'm a queer social designer, photographer & community maker from Rotterdam. I have an eco-feminist and care based approach to creating and my goal is to rethink the way in which we relate to each other, ourselves and our planet, through the lens of art and community creation.


I see myself more as a director and facilitator of social design projects, rather than solely as a maker, which is why most of my works are co-created or community based projects. My work is built around relations of care, and how reshaping them can give us a new outlook on what could be possible for us and future generations to come.


In my work, I make use of different and overlapping mediums such as: design, photography, writing, film, food design, herbalism and cooking. I create for the purpose of bringing people together and to challenge the notion of what is “normal” and what is not. 

I make my work as accessible as possible and I try to always create from a space of vulnerability, so that the viewer and participants feel the space to do the same.

If you would like to collaborate, please don't hesitate

to contact me.

Love,

Toyah​
