Camille Sapara Barton is a writer, embodiment social designer and interdisciplinary artist who creates resources and collective experiences that prototype culture change.
For over a decade, they have combined their training in political economy and somatics, alongside creative facilitation to address complex issues, enhance relational well-being and support people to flow through transitions.
As an artist, Camille's practice explores the interplay between bodies, words and vibration by weaving dance, clowning, somatics and sonics. Their work aims to deepen ancestral communication technologies and grow imagination gardens. Camille is the author of Tending Grief: Embodied Rituals for Holding Our Sorrow and Growing Cultures of Care in Community (2024). Based in Amsterdam, they designed and directed MA Ecologies of Transformation (2021 - 2023) which explored how embodiment and socially engaged art making can create change through the body, into the wider world.
Camille also teaches people to reduce stress and increase resilience, while navigating change. They offer trauma informed consultancy to assist funders, cultural workers and those working in the third sector, to sustain their work in aligned ways, even under pressure. Their approach is influenced by Black Feminism, ecology and harm reduction.
