Mila Puccini

Mila Puccini is a Swiss-American interdisciplinary artist and filmmaker and Masters of Urban Planning student at Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. For her artistic work, she was awarded multiple grants by the Norwegian Art Council, an artist residency in Oakland, CA, and she contributed to dozens of films and exhibitions in Switzerland, Norway, and the US. In 2015, she was commissioned by the literary organization Quiet Lightning to direct the film “Water Under the Bridge,” a portrait on the city of San Francisco and its multifaceted community, which ignited her passion for urbanism and historic preservation efforts.

In 2021, she relocated from San Francisco to Detroit, where she has dedicated her funded research to cultural & historical preservation, cultural planning, and community development.
