Creativists in Dialogue talks with Quique Avilés & Hilary Binder-Avilés.
Quique is an actor, a poet, a solo-performer, a film collaborator, visual artist, educator, immigrant from El Salvador, and fiery activist whose reputation precedes him.
Hilary too is a veteran organizer of community arts projects and seasoned nonprofit/NGO consultant and international facilitator, with expertise in NGO strategic development, governance, evaluation, fundraising, advocacy, and more.
Quique believes that creativity is the essence of life. He said that if it weren’t for writing and performing, he believes he would be dead or in jail.
Hilary, on the other hand, views creativity as a way to build community and help people see things in a different way. In her work with community-based organizations that have limited resources, she has to get creative to help these organizations accomplish their goals. She also uses creative methods to deepen empathy and change people’s perceptions of refugees and immigrants.
