Collective Wellbeing Stories

Inventiva Works explores design in many forms – from theatre design, puppetry, costumes, and illustrations, to the use of materials and diverse media to tell a story.

Inventiva Works by Mónica Cliff - Collective Wellbeing Stories Monica Cliff shares what inspired her to open Inventiva Works in Madison, Wisconsin.

"Art that is not commodified as entertainment has the capacity to guide and inspire us to question our inherited realities. Art that in its practice has the intention to deepen our understanding and heal can be transformational. I think this is why I am a self-taught painter, I leaned into painting as a path to make sense of the violence around me and then it guided me also into understanding who I am and my life beyond the impact of violence."
