Rebeka Ryvola de Kremer is an artist and creative strategist whose work explores the cultural, ethical, and political power of imagination. She is the founder of The Heart Gallery podcast, where she investigates how storytelling and craft shape the future and what it takes to protect and expand our imaginative capacities.

She developed the Imagination Ethic to help institutions and communities reclaim imagination not just as personal power, but as a structural and ethical necessity. The framework bridges artistic, relational, and systemic approaches to imagination as a force for cultural transformation and collective future-building.

Her work orbits around worldview literacy, the capacity to recognize, respect, and engage with diverse ways of knowing, sensing, and envisioning what’s possible in this precious moment of cascading crisis and moral reckoning.

Her art has been exhibited at the United Nations, projected onto the Brooklyn Bridge, and shown at the Design Museum London and the Red Cross Museum. She has led large-scale public art projects, including climate justice murals for Heat Action Day, NYC Climate Week, and multiple UNFCCC COP meetings, using participatory practices to catalyze dialogue and reimagine response.

For over a decade, Rebeka has led storytelling and creative strategy at the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre, where she is now bringing the Imagination Ethic into practice. She lectures and facilitates workshops at Yale, Columbia, MIT, and the United Nations, engaging global leaders on art, imagination, relational ethics, and future-building across crisis contexts. She also brings this work into radically different settings, including with individuals in the prison system and with young children, where imagination is often overlooked but equally vital.
