A little bit about me.

Hi! I’m Elizabeth Mak, an interdisciplinary artist and theatrical designer based in Singapore and New York City.
I am the founder and artistic director of Rainshadow Studios, an arts non-profit dedicated to making climate impact art. Our current project, Scarce City, will premiere at the National Gallery Singapore in January 2025.
As a designer, I believe in the power of visual, immersive, and experiential storytelling to change mindsets and move hearts to action in our communities.

In 2015, I wrote an artist manifesto. Feel free to peruse it here.
