Pollen is a media arts organization that fosters empathy, encourages connection across difference, and inspires meaningful action by sharing stories on our website and at our events — all to change our collective story for the better. Our social enterprise, Pollen Studio, brings our narrative expertise to mission-driven organizations looking to tell their stories in new and engaging ways. We are leaders who care deeply about equity, empathy, and our shared humanity. Leaders who identify as Black, Indigenous, People of Color, women, trans, and gender nonconforming. We are cross-sector influencers, civic leaders, decision- makers, creatives, and changemakers. We seek to understand the thorniest of issues—human rights, racial justice, economic liberation, art activism, and systemic inequities, just to name a few.
