(ta ︎ yer: workshop - in spanish &amp; ku ︎ pu ︎ ri: soul -&nbsp; in wixarika) is a vision; a hope for the future. a community space where folks are welcomed and encouraged to explore their artistic talents. access to the arts has been a long-standing challenge for underrepresented communities. i come from a low-income, immigrant, single-parent, mixed-status household and struggled to find creative outlets growing up. due to social and financial limitations, i had to find a way to approach art in a way that was accessible for me -- that is why traditional native knowledge of art and crafts are so important to me because creativity is a generational legacy. i have generations of land keepers, weavers, historians, dreamers, lovers &amp; story-tellers, etc. to rely on. i hope to be a source of support for people by offering my knowledge and spread their teachings - keep that giving spirit going and provide assistance whenever possible. creation is a source of resistance and radical self-exploration, our communities deserve places that celebrate their unique vibrancy and resiliancy.&nbsp; https://tallerkupuri.org/cv Thu, 14 Apr 2022 07:24:41 +0000 taller kupuri https://tallerkupuri.org/cv &lt;&lt; CV ︎ kaory&nbsp; lives &amp; works in the ohlone/sf bay area &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;education &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2022 ︎&nbsp;university of california, berkeley; berkeley, ca. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;bachelor of arts, media studies &amp; art practice &nbsp; &nbsp; 2019 ︎ de anza college; cupertino, ca. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;associate of arts, communication studies (cum laude) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;group exhibitions &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 2025 ︎&nbsp;climate interrelations imaginative; works/san jose art and performance center, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;san jose, ca.

&nbsp;taking care of the earth -- was one of my earliest life lessons.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;i have fond memories of my family life in nayarit, mexico. i remember my grandparents making their own &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;things; herding animals, producing dairy for milk and cheeses, mending their own clothes (one of my aunts&nbsp; &nbsp;recently learned high couture design and construction just to make her wedding dress !!!) always finding &nbsp; &nbsp;a way to make it work -- to make things is a labor of love.&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;these are not just buzzwords for many native peoples. this is the life we lead -- &nbsp; &nbsp;we have always lived in harmony to the land by building a reciprocal relationship and understanding its needs. &nbsp; &nbsp;we are earth defenders and water protectors because these are our providers. &nbsp; &nbsp;they give us life so we must breathe life back into them.&nbsp; &nbsp;to live sustainably, means to be resourceful. its about using with what you already have plus a little&nbsp;imagination. &nbsp; &nbsp;we can all contribute in our ways and be conscientious about the decisions we make when it comes to caring &nbsp; (and advocating) for the environment. &nbsp; in my art practice, repurposing and reclaiming is a part of my process. from materials to presentation, &nbsp; i strive to use low-cost and environmentally focused resources. the less new the better. &nbsp; thrifting, foraging, trading and bartering have led me to find unexpected materials and have allowed &nbsp; me to further my understanding of materiality and how objects have and can transform people and things. &nbsp; in 2024, i participated in a pilot art fellowship that focused on sustainability in the arts through the city of san jose, california.&nbsp; this program, a first of its kind in the united states, gave us insight into the environmental challenges and possible solutions &nbsp; that currently affect our city and the larger bay area. we learned from city officials, university professors, workers in the intersection &nbsp; of art&nbsp;and environmentalism, and others just interested in the movement -- it was a learning and reflective experience, to see how &nbsp; others are engaged and invested in sustainable causes and practices.&nbsp;&nbsp; upon reflection, i was able to shift and diversify my artistic practice to include sustainable education through social &nbsp; practices. although my primary focus for the program was ceramic arts, i was also able to learn from my peers and alter &nbsp; facets of my practice outside of ceramics. here are some the changes i have implemented to decrease my carbon footprint &nbsp; and have a greater visibility as an artist whose work and life is deeply intertwined with land-based practices: develop a carbon allowance for my ceramic worksexperiment with non-fired clay works (and alternative firings)make a resource directory for ceramic artistslist co2 emissions as part of my artwork details and ask that galleries keep description as part of my artist contract/agreementadvocate for increased transparency of ceramic materials (in regards to ceramic supply chains)continue research on alternative glazing materialsworkshops and collaborations with other artists/organizationsshare and contribute to discourse in the arts &amp; sustainability through an indigenous perspective &nbsp; late last year, my partner and i were able to start an intentional coffee bar and gathering space -- coffee bueno -- emphasizing the need for &nbsp; reciprocity in communal spaces. we operate through a gift-giving economy and implement zero-waste and slow-living principles. in 2025, &nbsp; we will be in residency with for the mamas, a creative ambassador program organized by jessica gutierrez in the city of san jose, california. &nbsp; each month, a free workshop is planned for local mothers to have a creative space and community support. coffee bueno will be providing &nbsp; refreshments for those that donate their time or resources to others in need. to learn more about our efforts follow us at @cofee_____bueno <img width="1753" height="2191" width_o="1753" height_o="2191" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c2128ee8066a38fd1ca61e1bd27a872f51a80f85997ce020c43df31c50a045da/IMG_7773.JPG" data-mid="228071620" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c2128ee8066a38fd1ca61e1bd27a872f51a80f85997ce020c43df31c50a045da/IMG_7773.JPG" /> <img width="1080" height="1080" width_o="1080" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b7073ca3b7238f01897e23b699ef37453a02e8bad64e3d0217110f7b47dc9bb8/Untitled-2.png" data-mid="228071877" border="0" data-scale="80" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b7073ca3b7238f01897e23b699ef37453a02e8bad64e3d0217110f7b47dc9bb8/Untitled-2.png" /> ︎ https://tallerkupuri.org/language-writings-and-resource Thu, 06 Oct 2022 05:10:54 +0000 taller kupuri https://tallerkupuri.org/language-writings-and-resource ︎ &nbsp;language resources &amp;
