Amanda Almvide (1987) är en multidisciplinär kreatör och barnkulturdesigner som arbetar med utvecklingen av platser, upplevelser och objekt, oftast skapade för och tillsammans med barn och unga.
Projekten inkluderar gärna olika faser så som platsanalys, utformning av koncept och byggnation på plats och har ett kreativt utforskande fokus genom hela processen. När det är möjligt används återbrukat material.
Parallelt med de plats- och persondrivna projekten genomför Amanda materiella tester i sin ateljé, med fokus på färg, textur och komposition. Detta visuellt och lustfullt drivna experimenterande ger inspiration till projekten men även workshops på museum.
För samarbeten eller bara nyfikenhet, hör gärna av dig!
