Artist Talk: Taller Sanaa

Come join us in the studios to hear from our current international artists in residents Taller SANAA, 12pm Tuesday 15 April!⁠

⁠

Taller SANAA, (TA - YER SAN - A), is a joint studio composed of collaborative multidisciplinary artists Jessica Sabogal and Shanna Strauss based in San Francisco USA. Their Taller (studio) name reflects the artists' cultural backgrounds - "Sana" translates as a compelling command to "heal" in Spanish, while "sanaa'' embodies the essence of "art" in Kiswahili, weaving together Jessica’s Colombian roots and Shanna's Tanzanian heritage. Through shared values in equity and social justice, Taller Sanaa are committed to creating healing artwork that uplifts the sacredness of women, people of color, the differently abled, queer and trans folks, immigrants and the undocumented, and our indigenous comrades who continue to face ongoing oppression and marginalization. Each piece is a celebration of differences and a symbol of liberation.⁠
