In this installment of Dyslexic Voices, we had an engaging and wide-ranging conversation with Michaell Magrutsche. Here is his bio:
Austrian/Californian Michaell Magrutsche (mag-rootsh) is a multidisciplinary artist, strategist (private, corporate and political) Creativity-Awareness Educator, speaker and author.
Michaell works on raising the awareness of our limitless human-potential. Dyslexia/dysgraphia forced Michaell to develop an awareness to see the world contextually. Having a more human-centric perspective and art-creation saved his life feeling like a human being instead of an outcast.
Today, Michaell’s unique comprehension allows him to contribute to almost every topic. Michaell is an advocate for human-education and understanding neurodiversity.
Michaell is totally self-taught and wrote 6 books about art and humanity, man-made systems and human inclusivity. Creating art taught him understanding the nuances of human-centric vs system-relevant living.
