Carmen Salvador

I am an award-winning writer,  seasoned Cultural Project Manager, and proud World Traveler. Throughout my 19-year career, I have
created a wide array of projects, crafting pioneering programs that blend literature, music, theater, and mindfulness for social transformation.

I am a multidisciplinary artist  and group facilitator with a 19-year career dedicated to innovative projects that combine literature, music and theater for social transformation.

I co-created QCET Foundation, serving as Program Director for eight years, developing cultural programs using methods that combined applied theater, literature, and mindfulness, and benefited 12,000+ people, focusing on less privileged sectors such as children, migrants, and women.

Currently I Iead Zapp School of Creativity, an initiative created by me and dedicated to fostering creativity for social impact through transformative artistic experiences. We recently launched a book compiling stories written by 44 women from rural areas of Chile, after a 3-month process of weekly workshops where we reflected and created around womanhood and territoriality. We received support from renowned writer Elizabeth Gilbert, with whom we conducted an online activity.

As a musician, I have extensive experience in composition, production, and sound design, both for my own creations and for performing arts.

I have received numerous supports from government and private funds for the implementation of the programs I have created.
