Our Mission
At Nucarta, we believe in radical collaboration to advance racial health equity. We bridge community-centered art, public health frameworks, and scientific innovation to reimagine care systems that serve the global majority — particularly Black, Brown, and historically marginalized communities.
Where Art Leads, Equity Follows
In order to effectively identify key barriers and facilitators in the work of racial health justice, we must foster shared leadership with the communities experiencing health inequities.
Nucarta uplifts artists of color as visionary leaders — not only within creative spaces, but as essential partners in transforming public health. We spotlight POC artists as cultural strategists and community organizers who co-create with life sciences stakeholders to drive advocacy, systems change, and racial equity in healthcare and scientific innovation.
Through this intersection of art, science, and shared power, we build new models of care rooted in community wisdom and creativity.
We put the ‘A’ in STEAM.
We believe that true innovation lives at the intersection of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM). Nucarta’s approach fills critical gaps in racial health equity by focusing on community engagement, communication, and creativity — proving that healing requires both imagination and analysis.
