Mauren Brodbeck, creator of Raw and Radical and
multisensory artist, Geneva
Mauren Brodbeck is a Swiss multisensory artist and singer-songwriter. She is
also the creator of Raw and Radical, an artistic platform, podcast series,
inspirational resource, and community, created to support cis and transgender
women who are working to realize their creative and artistic potential, further
their careers, and challenge inequity and misogyny in both society and the
art world.
Through intensive interviews with women and transgender women artists,
the Raw and Radical platform explores multiple, recurring themes that are critical to understanding what it means to be an artist and succeeding in artistic goals—whether those are individual, social, or financial.
Through the Raw and Radical platform, Mauren Brodbeck works to inspire and empower women to discover their inner strengths and liberate their creativity to live boldly and authentically. When not immersed in her artistic pursuits, she writes and spends time with her family at their home in Geneva.
