Moved by the devastating natural disasters that have hit many parts of the world recently, we have invited Rosary Coloma for this month’s Monthly Design Review meeting, to explore the ways in which the fields of architecture and design may pro-actively be used for the greater good, in these tragic scenarios.
Rosary Coloma wears many creative and entrepreneurial hats. Rosary is currently the director of Coloma Projects – a new creative enterprise based in Sydney, Australia, that carries out “project management for The Arts and creative industries” (Rosary’s “elevator pitch” to sum up activities ranging from curating to producing and then some). She is also currently undertaking a Masters of Business Administration with a major in Arts Management. Rosary has a background in the Performing Arts, Visual Arts and Design.
Rosary’s other passion is raising awareness on social issues. She has been involved with community volunteer work, for example, participating in a service project in a developing nation (The Philippines) as a 19 year old. In 2010 she spoke about the devastating typhoons that struck the Philippines, at the “Global Pecha Kucha for Haiti” fundraising event at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney. She is interested in exploring the possibilities of melding creative enterprise with social enterprise.
