HELLO

I’ve had a veritable zig zag of a life, so much so that a collaborator once recommended me with “Jorge has packed more life experiences in his first 25 years than most people acquire in 50.”

PROUD OF
CARBONWAVE: launching a seaweed revolution in the Caribbean, one of the regions most affected by climate collapse

Part of the founding team for Carbonwave, leading branding, digital, communications, and go-to-market initiatives for the core brand and its four subsidiaries through its $9m Series A. Secured recognition by National Geographic, Deutsche Welle, and the World Economic Forum's Uplink Program.

PERIPHERAL INTUITIONS: Turning a Berlin nightclub into a night school and community center

Co-curated with artist Chaveli Sifre, ‘Peripheral Intuitions’ was one of six projects chosen by the inaugural Night Embassy program for representing the future of nightlife in Berlin. It blended artistic interventions, immersive design, and workshops using the senses as a way to re-imagine a worldview guided by the peripheries. For two weeks we created an 18-hour-a-day program blurring the boundaries between nightlife, arts, healing, and politics - celebrating alternative visions of the future dreamt up by those society often marginalizes.

[ASDR] Autonomous Sensory Dissociative Response

Commissioned video art piece for the Attune collaborative research platform hosted by collective and label Research and Waves. Tapping into the popularity of ASMR and the fear of ongoing experiments in emotional manipulation by political operatives, the piece imagines an abstraction of a political manifesto delivered with one objective: assuage through discomfort.

HURRICANE MUTUAL AID: Co-activating a diaspora response to the strongest landfalling hurricane in 100+ years

Within hours, of Maria's landfall in Puerto Rico, I activated what ended up being the largest database of donation and collection points in the US. Quickly, many diaspora activists came together to organize horizontally around emerging needs filtering from communications blackout - facilitated by community organizer Pablo Benson. After a few weeks, the group shifted to follow the lead of mutual aid & grassroots groups on the ground.

MONGOL RALLY: Driving one third of the way around the planet in a `$500 used hatchback

The Mongol Rally has been called the greatest adventuring road trip in the world, mainly due to the fact that it had to be completed in a car with an engine smaller than 1-liter (most modern road motorcycles had a larger engine).

about

I'm a researcher, strategist, and artist focused on social impact and transnational mobilization.

Most recently, I was founding lead of Communications, Marketing, and Public Affairs at Carbonwave, a public benefit corporation creating valuable circular economies based on seaweed that address regenerative agriculture, sustainable manufacturing, and scalable carbon sequestration.

His current focus is on accelerating community-led, justice-oriented, and inclusive models of climate that are suited for the realities that communities of the global south face in our climate emergency.

What I uncover are provocative truths and disruptive strategies that help organizations to discover biases, recognize early signals, solve problems, and pilot new ways of doing that lead to a more conscious society.
