Shawn "the Puru" Shafner is an artist, theatre-maker and educator who started The POOP Project in April 2010 to generate public conversations about our often private business, and encourage people to re-examine their relationship to the bodily function that dare not speak its name. Shawn and The POOP Project team aim to break through the thick walls of euphemism, utilizing public performances and art exhibitions, educational workshops, advocacy and community projects to create "poop positive" space where it never was before. We believe that a positive re-evaluation of this most basic act can have major ramifications on the way we think about and treat our bodies, our environment, and our global communities.The POOP Project is a fiscally sponsored non-profit through Fractured Atlas.
