MEET OUR TEAM

'No one can whistle a symphony. It takes a whole orchestra to play it.'

Robinah Nansubuga
Curating

I am an experienced curator and film set designer in Kampala, Uganda. I am interested in art with story-telling to unite and liberate people. I use art to learn about the challenges of cultural development within the social and cultural communities of chain values – ‘who is who’ and ‘who is accepted where’. I am an advocate for the educational benefits of the arts and the arts’ influence in life choices and life experiences. I am keen on promoting practice-led approaches to art in public spaces, and to inform an ongoing dialogue between different communities. My passion is to operate through experimentation of dynamic facing concepts and spaces, such as ‘exclusion’ and ‘inclusion’, ‘unknowing’ and ‘knowing’.

 

Through our efforts at Satellites of Art, I hope that we will succeed to make art less exclusive, elitist and status-oriented.

Aziza Atta
Partnerships

I am a multi-lingual UK qualified corporate lawyer, an e-commerce entrepreneur, and CEO and founder of Ozoza Lifestyle. With over 25 years experience of working on complex international transactions with international law firms, such as Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Norton Rose Fulbright amongst others, my focus has been predominantly on emerging market projects. My passion for developmental work and the arts has fuelled my participation and founding of various NGOs and organisations, many of which focus on promoting African culture and heritage internationally.  If you want to understand a culture, speak their language, if you want to understand the language of a people beyond literacy, you need to understand their art.

 

I am so thrilled to be part of the Satellites of Art team and support the promotion of West African visual art through this wonderful online platform that will make the work of emerging African artists more accessible to the world. The sort of connections we’re striving to create are much needed in today’s world as a bridge-building mechanism.

Anita Chidiac
Marketing & Communication

I’m originally from Lebanon but born in London and raised in Nigeria. These diverse places, with their ancient civilizations and unique cultures, have always inspired me. Though I’m not an artist, I’ve been surrounded by art throughout my life. I’ve always had a passion for exploration and capturing moments in my life. Although I never formally studied photography, it’s something I’ve always loved. I find joy in taking pictures from various perspectives, both from above and below.

 

I initially pursued graphic design without a clear direction, but during my second year, I fell in love with every aspect of it. As I entered the workforce, my enthusiasm for graphic design grew even stronger. Working with Satellites of Art amplified my passion for social media and ultimately inspired me to delve into content creation.

Bojana Janićijević
Web Design

I have been working for over 15 years in a large range of professional fields. From sales to management, marketing to brand management, and graphic design, I have dabbled in various work areas. All of that brought me to the point of starting working as a freelancer on various projects that I found interesting and motivational.

 

I have always been passionate about travelling, meeting different cultures and after one life-changing experience where I worked as a volunteer for children in need in Cambodia, I am always looking for projects where my work can help in achieving a higher goal. Satellites Of Art is definitely that. Project with a mission. Beautiful team. Loving energy. Making the world a better place.

Greta Gregorian
Iran Marketing & Promotion, Global Partnerships

I am originally Armenian born in Iran, two inspiring countries, with old civilization and old indigenous culture.  Though I have never been an artist but always seen arts around me and grew up with it.

 

Artworks are a way of communication, specially the facts that cannot be spoken. I even believe that an artwork explains everything better than words. Art make our lives so healthy, mentally and physically.

 

Working as an International Business Manager for more than 25 years and traveling a lot of countries with different cultures and lifestyles, I could be well familiar with International connections and exchanges. Exchanging culture, art, life style, etc… makes a better life for human beings and other creatures as well.

 

I have committed myself to present Iranian inspiring artworks through Satellite of Art’s website to strengthen the relationship between people in the word.

My voluntary commitment to Satellites of Art speaks for itself: I am convinced by the business idea and touched by the social idea behind it.

 

I am committed to sustainable development out of conviction. Be it for social justice or environmental protection.

 

My experience as a communications professional and nonprofit manager as well as my curiosity for new topics have brought me to Satellites of Art. I am happy to make a small contribution to the organization’s and the artists’s success.

Yasmina Zamora Salas
Peru Events and Markets

I was born in Peru, I am an architect who has worked for 10 years in the field of apartment design and construction. Passionate about architecture, culture, art and travel, in 2019 I made a trip to Korea, which changed my life and I decided to take a turn in my professional development. To enjoy how culture and art can be an important factor for human development, to understand that art not only changes people’s lives, but also transforms communities and can even exponentially influence the development of a country. It changed my perception completely.

 

With my country, Peru, I wish to foster artistic expressions for change, locally and globally. In Satellites of Art I have found the perfect ally to close those gaps and connect the art of emerging countries with the whole world.

Katrin Imhof
Founder and CEO

The work with Satellites of Art, connecting with and promoting so many amazing talented artists, inspires me every day from anew.

 

I am a neuroscientist with many years of experience in sustainable international development, cooperation with the UN, and local organizations and people in various countries around the globe.

 

I am fascinated about distinct cultures, lifestyles and skills that make the world more diverse, peaceful and healthy. When I was travelling, I filled my boxes with amazing inspirations and memories. Now, I want to unlock connections with all these skilful artists, all over the world, and enable art lovers and collectors to dive in worldly colours, shapes, and senses.

 

I believe that diversity and courage for social change expressed through art makes our aspirations for a more equal and fairer world more meaningful, colourful, creative and effective.

I am a passionate traveler fascinated about different cultures, their values in life and the huge creative potential that enriches the globe. As a team member at Satellites of Art Team, I am excited to connect with people that share the same passion and values as we do.

Nicole Matt
Co-Founder

For the last 10 years, I have run a philanthropic foundation that supports projects internationally in the arts. I am impressed by the power of the arts for social change, but also concerned about the existing inequality of access for promising talents to the world market.

 

For Satellites of Art, I help with coordination, I explore parts of the Latin American market and I am responsible for our sponsorship and further development.

Katrin Eltohami
Founder

For the last 15 years I have been working for the UN and NGOs, focusing on the support of countries prone to conflict and insecurity. I saw first-hand how art is one of the crucial means through which people speak out when their civic space is curtailed or under threat. Art becomes activism, and vice versa.

 

With Satellites of Art, I wanted to create a transnational platform that connects artists, activists and art enthusiasts that care for a fair and sustainable global community. For me, it is this kind of exchange among people who share one passion – art – that builds awareness and commitment to jointly strive for positive social change.

Sabrina Fares Camp
Business Development Advisor

I have two passions in life, art and social activism. Celebrating cultural heritage and diversity, while striving for justice and prosperity worldwide are at the core of my life and career. For 10 years, I worked for the United Nations in external relations and business development roles, focusing on technology for development. An advocate of trade for development, I later founded a social business in Niger promoting Tuareg culture and distributing fine Tuareg jewelry worldwide. Now a certified coach, I have coordinated mentoring and coaching programs for human rights defenders across the globe.

Bringing my passions and areas of expertise together at the service of Satellites of Art’s business development is a dream come true. Also acting as SoA’s focal point for the MENA region, I will take pride in making SoA a leading platform for art from emerging countries while empowering artists and promoting art as a catalyst for social change.
