When an immersive experience is crafted with intention, something rare happens: strangers become community, imagination becomes belief, and the impossible starts to feel possible. This is entertainment. This is where fans are built. This is how culture changes.

This belief drives everything in Mikhael Tara Garver’s 25+ year pioneering career in Immersive Entertainment and her visionary creative & business strategy behind Culture House Immersive (CHI). Through a conversation with The Arsht Center’s Joanne Banko, Mikhael will discuss how to create the conditions for transformation by focusing on the creative, the commercial, and the craft. This is how immersive work can become a thriving, scalable enterprise and genuine culture change engine, not one or the other, but both, by design.
