About
Daniela Tinoco is an artist from Cholula, Mexico currently living on Ohlone Land while pursuing her MFA in Art Practice at San Francisco State University.
Through the use of collage, poetry, photography, clay, installation, printmaking, found objects, family archive and art books. Daniela’s work investigates poetic ways to understand the crafting of identities. She is interested in exploring the paradoxes of constraint and freedom, conformity and individuality, erasure and resistance, embracing duality as a generative way to inhabit and coexist with contradiction. Focusing on counter-hegemonic narratives, Daniela’s methodological framework emphasizes and problematizes extractive cultural knowledge in visual representations. She is also interested in cultivating communal networks of care where unlearning extractive and oppressive storytelling practices open up space for resistance networks of affection and joy.
Whether throwing clay vessels over poems, creating posters inspired by radical tenderness with students, or co-founding the first annual Enero Zapatista Bay Area, her work points to a constant state of imagining and embodying other ways of living.
Maintenance Actions
As someone that lives in a different country than most of their family and friends I need to say and hear te amo very frequently.
My art practice and life practice are one, my network affections are important and need maintenance and reciprocity.
