About this Event

Please join us at “Map Your Code: Music, Places and Things”

Uncover unique areas of your own personal brand in this ground-breaking workshop using personal mapping to catalyse creativity.

What are you drawn to? What are the soundtracks of your life, the food you love to eat, where you come from? In this workshop, we will explore the interplay between where you are now and where you came from.

The goal is to identify and inform your own personal brand and goals and how the memories of your origins can consciously serve as fuel for your creativity and expansion. You will come away from this workshop with the beginnings of a map of the connection between you and the culture you come from: its food, music, places, etc.

Open to all participants, yet ideal for you if you're looking for clarity on your personal brand and/or looking to expand it.

About Giana Pilar González

Giana Pilar González works and plays with brands, technology, and cultural systems. She researches, analyzes, and (re)maps code and structures to create new possibilities for participation and creative dialogue. This manifests as experiences, engagements, and products that challenge everyday people to reinvent the systems they encounter.

Within her practice, Giana blurs the lines between art and commerce, digital and analog, couture and homespun culture, and uses art as a context for open experimentation and audience exchange.

Her intimate knowledge of brand construction informs her artistic practice of remixing fashion and her research on mapping diagrams that show the design DNA of people, brands, and cultural movements.

Her work has been featured in exhibits at Eyebeam and Garanti Gallery, and in publications such as WiredUK, Hurriyet, and Fashion Practice. Giana holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Architecture from the Catholic University of America in Washington D.C. and a Master’s Degree from the Interactive Telecommunications Program at Tisch School of the Arts, New York University. She currently lives and works in New York City and is the founder of TEOSANTOS, an experimental design studio advising brands within the Fortune 500, creative agencies, small start-ups and companies at the forefront of design and technology industries.
