artin Amushendje is an all-out creative born in 1991 and raised in Namibia. He is one of the fortunate few who are able to create full-time.

Amushendje seemed to have overcome the insecurities that tried to make him feel unintelligent, inadequate and different. He has a long-standing wish to hold spaces where people, children and adults are equally free to express themselves and not necessarily to share finished products or complete concepts. He desires for them to be allowed room to find meaning in the process. “I just want to create.� The rest comes later.
