Hendrik Gerrits
Hendrik Gerrits is Lumin Wakoa’s surviving spouse. They met twenty years ago on the L train transfer bus and married fifteen years ago. They gave birth to two girls, Liv (11) and Frida (7). Hendrik previously worked at the New Museum and the Museum of Arts and Design, where he oversaw exhibition design and production. More recently, he completed his Master's in Social Work degree at Hunter College and is now working as an individual and couples therapist in Brooklyn.
Lumin was passionate about observing the world, and she had dozens of daily rituals that involved meditating upon the visual splendor of everything around her: trees, flowers, the sky, our cats, our daughters, or me.
