The practitioner-researcher behind the praxis.
Since 2008, Makēda Gershenson has been building playgrounds for the future. As founder of Quest Labs | Mosaics in the Making, she facilitates sandbox sessions and research collaborations that function less like classrooms and more like portals - places where play becomes possibility and constraints are composted.
Her work dances at the intersection of education, workforce evolution, and radical foresight, weaving decolonial scholarship and embodied practice into experiences that move people from what they've inherited to what they're brave enough to create.
Her approach holds tension tenderly and is rigorously playful toward co-crafting infrastructures of care.
Whether facilitating sandbox sessions that crack open new capacities, conducting organizational research that remaps who holds power over tomorrow, or exploring how a single metaphor can unlock what once seemed impossible, Makēda creates the conditions for you to see the stories you've been living inside and then craft a different future together.
