Nikkisa Abdollahi
When Nikkisa is not making works of art, she’s creating works of heart. Along with her team of volunteer collaborators, she is co-founder of TEDxYouth@BommerCanyon and the Unveiled Project, and has helped raise awareness of the unique challenges that face our generation. Her community-building events which include Jeffersonian dinners, art shows and talks have helped foster understanding, connection and growth among many Southern California youth and families. A natural extension of this ongoing work, Tiny Refinery hopes to serve as a design hub of creation for greater cross-cultural and intergenerational opportunities which benefit local community members--and beyond-- to our extended global family.
