About

As an interactive artist, Gabriel is often dreaming up scenarios to provoke play and empathy between strangers. He co-created the Vulnerable Rally as a social experiment—blending street theatre, shadow work, community building, and social/political commentary.

He lives in Oakland, with his daughter and partner.
