Robin Freeman grew up in northern Maine and spent her summers camping among the trees on the unceded and ancestral territories of the Mi’kma’ki, Wabanaki and Wolastoqiyik Nations.

Robin is an award-winning educator with years of experience teaching both in higher education and community-based settings. She has developed arts-based community engagement initiatives and is enthusiastic about harnessing the creative power of the arts for personal and social transformation. Having made her home with her family in several different countries, she is fascinated by how artistic practices and ways-of-knowing can help foster connection and bridge cultural differences (and she is still searching for the best Bavarian-style pretzel in Vancouver).
