Rafael Damast came to Taller as the Visual Arts Program Manager in 2010. Rafael is a documentarian and technologist from New York City with a strong history of working with artists and non-profits with projects ranging from video productions, artist proposals, to websites. In 2005 he started Arepa Digital Publishing, LLC, a company that focuses on working with art masters in creating interactive educational content. Rafael graduated from the University of Rochester in 1989 with a B.A. in Psychology and Painting.

Rafael’s favorite thing about Taller is that it is open to new ideas and looks to the future. His hobbies are film, video, art, social media, and marketing. He brings his own lunch most of the time, but he also likes to go to Taquería La Raza.
