RM Sánchez-Camus (Marcelo) is a creative practitioner, organisation lead and developer, coach and mentor.

He aims to uncover personal and social narratives while giving a space for reflection. His practice incorporates community co-authorship into installation, performance, and text with a focus on co-creation, participation, psychogeography, and wellbeing.

Marcelo’s commitment to social engagement and site-responsive work has led him to realise diverse projects in the social sphere, such as publishing Elan Calls, a creative guide to a nature reserve in Wales; the touring project The Print Shop: Rise Up!, a pop-up DIY slogan printing space; and devising and directing El Tiempo Indómito, a social circus show in Colombia about local culture.

An important strand of his practice is the building of support and exchange systems for artists, curators, activists and scholars working in creative industries. Marcelo is the co-founder of various national and international networks and collectives including: Social Art International Berlin, Social Art Network UK, Coalition of Creative Artists NYC, Lotos Collective London.
