Visual Poetry
In this workshop, I worked with youth at ReFrame Youth Arts Center to develop an artistic creative eye for image making and storytelling.  This work was then translated to a larger city-wide mapping project, Rio to the Mountain, making visible and audible Black, Latino/a, and Indigenous communities under threat of displacement.  My hope with this work is show the many ways that technology and creativity can serve communities to make their own visual and oral histories.

Community Collaborations

My work is grounded in my commitment to working with communities of women.  For the past 5 years, I have collaborated with Indigenous women from Bolivia, women in the United States, and in community across the Sonoran Desert.  My interest in working with women is born out of the feminist practices within my own work that address women's invisible labor and use of bodies and intellect.  Also, I find that my own spiritual and emotional understanding of the world if deepened by the important knowledge that women hold in their communities.
