Director - Natalie Hunfalvay
Folkal is a small team consisting of a Director, a handful of trusted contractors, and many partnerships.
Having worked in communications, photography and film production for 20 years, our Director Natalie combines her experience in creative industries with a strong desire to use creativity for improved mental health, wellbeing and advocacy.
Natalie is a trained therapeutic arts practitioner, with a focus on using evidence based photography and creative writing practices as the primary tools for exploration and expression. Having run dozens of participatory and therapeutic workshops in communities, schools and online, for varying demographics and age groups, she understands the complexity and dynamics of working with all sorts of groups, and tailors programs accordingly.
