Akira Chan is a mixed race, mixed media visual artist raised in Southern California.  His multicultural background inspired an early call to explore culture and identity through travel, documentary filmmaking, and humble inquiry. Finding balance by mixing elements and creating juxtaposition, Akira is guided by the marriage of modern & indigenous, experimental & traditional, Eastern & Western, spiritual & political, ancient and future.
Akira’s ultimate intention for creating conscious media is to raise awareness of the current renaissance towards a generative, heart-based New Age. In following this vision, Akira has aligned himself in service to Elevate Films, Tribal Convergence Network, and other organizations providing stewardship for transformation and awakening. He was one of the original co-Founding Members of TCN Core Council, sat for a year as Conscious Media Co~Council and currently acts in an advisory capacity. His current projects include:
