The Global Art Project

Katherine Josten, for almost 20 years now, has been creating peace through the cultural exchange of art. In 2004, the "Masks of the Goddess" were used in a performance that were part of the Global Art Project (Katherine also danced the title role) and an exchange was made with a wonderful dance group in Cameroon, Africa. Katherine is, truly, a local Heroine.
