Tzintzun Aguilar-Izzo (elle | their)
Tzintzuni is an environmental artist-scholar and movement weaver. They view every art-form as an act of storytelling, and every story told a revolutionary action. Tzintzun strives to tell the stories of a new shared reality; stories that can serve as bridges, linkages for the people who are fighting to create an ecocentric and just future.
