CURRENT MISSION

Happiness, in general.
Preferably not in a neoliberalism-dependent way. I've just ruined it haven't I?

ABOUT ME

Ongoing travels doing art projects and researching on community-based art projects, art and activism (especially in indigenous communities), artist-run initiatives, alternative spaces in cities and rural contexts, before stepping into the hazy world of PhD and sailing+piracy.

I'm dyspraxic, might help you paint a sort of picture of me. Don't know how, but might help. hahaha

If you are interested to know a little bit more about me and the art that I do, you can check out my website: http://rhinebernardino.com OR NOT!
Part of a 10-member purely improvisational noise band: https://soundcloud.com/user-256725599 if you are interested in having a listen?

PHILOSOPHY

Stick to what you want to do and pursue it with all the energy you have + all of you, it will all materialise in time or dematerialise for that matter, whichever you prefer really. Also remember that everything is impermanent, we are all going to die, which may be scary but that's part of the whole fun beautiful game of life, so don't let anything get to you. Try to be compassionate when you can, but if you can't help people, at least don't hurt them, don't be a dick!

Musica, film e libri

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Waking up every day, nothing can be more amazing. Also, a camel sitting down or something like this, have you seen one? It's wayyy cool. Ok okkk, the underwater world, I prefer being down there than inland to be perfectly honest.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I would love to teach you how to juggle! It's really easy, believe me (and believe in yourself of course, this is very important) ahahaha
I'm a certified freediver, so I can teach some breathing techniques for freediving too! Along with this, I’m also a certified yoga teacher and a long-time meditation practitioner. We can do yoga and/or meditate together, if that’s your vibe.

I also know some weird hand tricks as well as tongue exhibitionism, which may be more scary than fascinating. Non-sexual context, just to be clear hahahaha, you'll see :)
