At InSEA, we believe that art transforms people’s lives.
Gifts in Wills are an important and crucial source of funding, providing lasting support which will help to safeguard InSEA’s ability to enrich more people’s lives now and in the future. Remember InSEA in your will
There are many ways you can make a gift which is both simple and efficient:
Residuary: the amount left over after all other costs, for example, funeral expenses, have been deducted
Pecuniary: a fixed sum of money
Specific: a gift of a particular named item, for example, a painting, building or land
Reversionary: a gift to a loved one for use during his or her lifetime which can then be passed onto a specified charity after this time
Leaving a gift in your will is an effective lasting contribution without any immediate outlay. Legacies left to charities are free from inheritance tax, which means a legacy could result in your tax bill being reduced.
If you have already made a will, you can add an amendment, known as a codicil, which InSEA can provide for you. We do recommend that you consult with your legal advisor when deciding upon making a legacy.
By making a gift to InSEA, you are recognising the work that we do and the difference we make to people’s lives. No gift is too large or too small. Whatever the size, your gift can and will make a difference.
TALK TO US
Leaving a gift in your will is an important decision to make.
If you would like to find out more, or have an informal chat please contact the Treasurer, Secretary or President via the CONTACT US page.
Your gift will be treated with confidentiality and with sensitivity.
We hope to hear from you soon.

I will continue working as a part of a leadership team which strengthens the reach and impact of InSEA globally, to attract more active members and to develop connections across the communities which make membership worthwhile. Doing this through our webinars, our social media, taking part in international events, conferences and congresses, our publications, our Boards, our links with UNESCO as a NGO, and the WAAE. In 2024 we will celebrate 70 years of InSEA, and also review our Manifesto to recognise global changes. Access to art education for all is the driver for myself and for all of us.

Candidate for President
I am a neurodivergent artist-research-teacher based in Australia, committed to pluriversal and practice-based art education that centres justice, peace, care, climate change, equity, and accessibility in the Global South. As President of Art Education Australia and a two-term InSEA World Councillor, I have worked across national and international platforms to foster collaborative networks of educators, researchers, and artists. My work across Southeast Asia and the Pacific, including through SWISP Lab and the UNESCO Observatory for Arts Education at The University of Melbourne supports youth-led, sustainable and equitable community-based art education projects that activate art as tools for encountering social, technological, cultural, climate, and environmental justice/s. Initiatives that I co-lead like Hacking the Anthropocene (HAK.io), developed in Australia as part of SWISP lab reflect my commitment to socially engaged, justice-oriented collective art practice. If elected President, I will support InSEA and its members as a space for deep listening, co-creation, and collaboration across regions, worldviews, and lived experiences. These times of collective crises, need InSEA to prioritise accessible, inclusive approaches that recognise the value of diverse bodies, minds, and methods. I believe InSEA can continue to grow and build on its beliefs as a global intergenerational community where artists, artist-teachers, curators, museum educators and art teachers work together to shape educational futures that are just, collective, and creative; building meaningful change through trusted relationships. I don’t seek to lead alone but to walk alongside others imagining otherwise, together.

As a resident of Costa Rica and a US citizen, I have gained a perspective of how powerful colonialist countries have shaped and continue to shape the world. My research interest has long been disability and colonialism, which has been combined in the relatively new category of debility, based on Jasbir Puar’s research. I am interested in how artists, educators, and cultural workers work against ableism, colonial knowledge, neoliberalism, and Western capitalism; how they might reveal these structures as having impacted body, mind, and land. Debility is therefore ongoing impairment created through processes of dispossession, discrimination, climate crisis, and racism. I would bring this focus of social justice to InSEA research and practice. Needless to say, we are in a critical moment in human history, so how we use the arts now is critically important. How might InSEA lead arts research and practice toward daily activism in schools, universities, museums, and arts organizations?
