CATS
A offshoot of iSWOOP, biologists, filmmakers, educators, visual artists and designers who explore places and nagging questions with tools from diverse disciplines. We call ourselves CATS (Coalition of Artisan Thinkers and playfully invent a new language that adds an absurd number of consonants to every day terms. It’s schpanqtastic. The team has articulated eight principles that guide our work and its expression via the arts. NASP is one aspect of our culture that we hope is contagious.
