Vera Mulyani (Rebel Yell - Eps 2)
Vera Mulyani is considered the world’s first Marschitect. She is the Founder and CEO of Mars City Design, a global innovation platform whose purpose is to research, conceptualize, and design eco-sustainable cities for life on Mars. Mulyani’s concept of urbanism on Mars also advocates a self-sustaining lifestyle on Earth.
Growing up in the polluted slums of Jakarta with the trauma of civil war as her brutal reality, Vera relied on her imagination as a means of survival and vital escape. Her persevering dreams of a bigger world and brighter future led her, against all odds, to Paris where she enrolled at the Beaux-Arts as an undergraduate and later studied Architecture, engineering and Urban Design at France’s prestigious Ecole d'Architecture de Nantes where she received her graduate degree.
Vera is also a filmmaker, and has written and directed three award winning films – two of which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. She also cast both Emmy award winning actress Julia Garner and Oscar winner Jon Batiste in their first on-screen roles. In addition, Vera has exhibited her paintings and photography in galleries around the world.
* Vera is featured as part of REBEL YELL – a new series from ARTLAWS that features young emerging artists who are changing the face of our cultural landscape.
