Odalis Valdivieso

As a neurodivergent educator, Odalis Valdivieso is committed to fostering inclusive and creative environments where students can explore and express their talents through drawing, mixed media, painting, printmaking, and sculpture. Over the past 18 years, she has worked across the United States and internationally—including in Miami, Berlin, and New York—leading school-based and community programs, as well as teaching at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. She is also the founder of www.fallsemester.org, a platform dedicated to publishing work in philosophy and critical theory. Through this project, she and other contributors examine the human condition and our shared experiences in contemporary society.
