I’ve been selected to be apart of the inaugural group of artists to have a residency at The Hive with the Spokane Library. In this time I have chosen to include the community by asking you to recommend Black, Indigenous, Asian, immigrant, LGBTQIA+ people of diversity and their organizations making a positive difference in our community that may not have been openly recognized for their hard work. I choose to celebrate these people that sustain cultural heritage, create awareness to our diversity, develop programs bringing Spokane together and unite community in ways that promote an inclusive community.
Please drop some names in my camera bag! All data you send is safe however, if you prefer to contact me directly please email me at tallerloteriadespokane@gmail.com
I can think of many people to involve in this taller (project) but with the spirit of being as inclusive as possible I want to ask you to nominate inspiring people composed of Spokane's diversity. Complete the form to nominate people of diversity or groups led by them. I have 59 portraits and it’s time to lift up the people of diversity that lift up the beautiful city of Spokane!
