Taller: Lotería de Spokane
A taller (thai-air) is a workshop and this one is for the community of diversity in Spokane.
I’ve been selected to be a part 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 of our diversity, develop programs bringing Spokane together and unite the community in ways that promote an inclusive community.

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!
