We are living in tremendously uncertain times and this month’s guest, artist <a href="https://www.yvettemolina.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Yvette Molina</a>, reminds us through her expansive work of the relationship between justice and care. Yvette is Mexican-American of Chippewa of Turtle Mountain descent who is currently artist-in-residence at the <a href="https://tang.skidmore.edu/exhibitions/591-yvette-molina-a-promise-to-the-leaves" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery</a> at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. Her collaborative exhibition, A PROMISE TO THE LEAVES, centers the four elements: earth, air, water, fire, and a fifth presence, the cosmos. By focusing on these ancient, essential forces, Molina invites us to remember that humans, plants, and all earthly beings are composed of star matter and sustained by the elements. Her work encourages us to understand care as inherently relational. Care for one another, human and non-human alike, is care for ourselves and all of creation.<a href="https://www.instagram.com/yvettemolina.studio/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Yvette’s</a> artistic practice is rooted in community engagement and activism - through processional banners, ritual, storytelling, costumes, collage, painting, and sculpture. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Stockholm Fringe Festival, the Brattleboro Museum and Art Center, the Visual Arts Center of New Jersey, Arsenal Contemporary Art, SPRING/BREAK Art Show, NADA FAIR, and the Legion of Honor and de Young Museums in California. She currently lives and creates in Oakland, California.Nyá:wen to<a href="https://iso-bea.ca/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Indigenous Screen Office</a> for supporting these important stories!<hr> Hosted on Acast.
