The Baryo Collective, as supported by Kwentu

The team creates spaces that encourage participants to connect with themselves and others as visionaries and stewards of space and time.
Ellie Tiglao (any pronouns) is a performance director, art director, and chef artist who founded the worker-owned cooperative Tanám, recognized for its "narrative cuisine," collaborating with artists to amplify unheard stories. Charles Choueiri (he/his, a.k.a Mr. Improbable) is an Emmy-nominated multidisciplinary artist specializing in visual art, projection mapping, and generative art, working with organizations like IDEO and MIT Media Lab. Lisa Tacoronte (she/her) of Tacolis Design facilitates storytelling through experience design and technology. She has led countless projects to launch community-rooted experiences, from teen pop-up health services to immersive retail spaces to a thematically immersive space with a hidden planetarium.
Together, they combine art, science, and technology to foster learning, connection, and societal well-being.
