About the Facilitator
Zoe Smith Crepp is a creative professional whose recent work focuses on combining methods of poetry and visual art. Her practice is confessional in nature as it reflects personal and familial histories as well as themes of love. These investigations often call on broader discussions of societal issues that relate to her identity as a mixed-race, queer woman.
