Host


Leo Kominz, SEAMES

Born in Oregon, USA. While in college, Leo founded and ran ERL Studio, a recording studio dedicated to student musicians. After working at a television station, he embarked on World in Twelve, a project where he traveled to 12 cities around the world, spending a month in each and interviewing locals with the same 12 questions. In 2019, he founded SEAMES, which is a creative collective using art and entertainment to tackle social challenges in ways that are fun, engaging, and full of discovery and inspiration. Their goal is to show that addressing social issues doesn’t have to be daunting or dull. It can be exciting, meaningful, and impactful.
