Engines of Culture | Founder
Engines of Culture is a project to create arts and cultural activities in train spaces and build support for America's rails. The project began as Danya’s master's thesis at MIT about train travel as a cultural platform, and she has further developed the project through a residency on the Millennial Trains Project and a talk & workshop at NYC's Transit Museum.
