Through engaging and sharing - traditional and innovative visions and practices by cultural, spiritual and political workers through events, the written word and multimedia art practice. REBORN is a repetitive ritual of truth - visioning the needs of our selves, community and environment living together. REBORN is the conceptual vision of Noelle Lorraine Williams in collaboration with other individuals and organizations. REBORN produces VISIONARY a monthly online interview project that profiles individuals who are using culture to urgently, innovatively and daringly re-imagine how we live this existence. Through engaging each artist’s greatest visions and deepest fears it seeks to sustain, document, share and ultimately transform how we live and feel about community as individuals internationally.
