Jennifer Quintanilla
Jennifer wants to make films and media that can nurture the well-being of communities and serve as an outlet to unearth solutions about culturally responsive mental, emotional, and social healing.
RISE Healing Arts Lab is a multimedia wellness hub at the intersection of media & impact. We harness cinema's experiential and playful power through storytelling projects, culturally tailored film gatherings, and mindful community-based activities to support social healing and narrative change in New York City.
Through partnerships with health, art organizations, audio-visual artists and community leaders, we co-create initiatives and spaces that encourage openness, exploration and joy. The activities and services offer groups the opportunity to tune into the strengths and complexities of their communal identities, find moments of respite through art and foster meaningful connections.
