Maria Maea is a multidisciplinary artist working

her art practice, she deepens her connection to land, somatic
memory, and ancestry. Her works investigate and celebrate her
experience growing up in Southern California in her family’s
Samoan Mexican American community.
Tania Candiani is an interdisciplinary visual
artist whose work explores the intersection of art, literature,
music, architecture, science, and labor. Her production methods
emphasizes ancestral knowledge and its techniques and
technologies. One of the central interests of her work is an
