About Dafni (briefly)
My name is Dafni Petratou and I’m a mixed media artist and participatory art practitioner based in Wageningen, in the Netherlands. My aim is to make art and tell stories. I like depicting concepts and communicating ideas through images and I believe that art can play a transformative role in society.
About Dafni (less briefly)
I come from Greece, where I also studied Architecture. My fascination about how human societies interact with nature led me to a master’s degree in Land and Water Management in the city of Wageningen.
Walking this path made me very interested to link art and education in all sorts of ways. I started facilitating nature education classes, creating art-based research material and facilitating workshops on creativity and education. Aside from that I coordinate a local community newspaper that sheds alternative light to research, learning and academia (the Jester).
