About Us

ABOUT SONOPHILIA

Sonophilia was founded in 2015 and received non-profit status in 2020. As the Foundation enters its second decade, we are renewing how we lead, organize, and share our work.

Creativity is not limited to art or cultural production. It is a fundamental human capacity that shapes scientific discovery, education, entrepreneurship, social development, and everyday problem-solving.

The Sonophilia Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to democratizing creativity. We advance scientific approaches to creativity and critical thinking and make them accessible for the benefit of everyone.
