About the Event
This community-building workshop with Kichwa artist Adina Farinango is open to all graduate students engaged with Indigenous communities and the arts. Explore your creative potential, learn about Adina’s artistic journey, and collaboratively design a piece that embodies the collective values of our diverse research community. This is an opportunity to connect across disciplines and borders through art and shared vision.
About the Artist
Adina Farinango is a Kichwa-Otavalo artist who uses art as an act of resistance, healing, and self-expression. Her art practice serves as a means to navigate and strengthen her own identity as an Indigenous woman within the Kichwa diaspora. Influenced heavily by the resilience and strength of matriarchs in her community—past, present, and future—she seeks to Indigenize spaces, centering the reclamation of space through a matriarchal lens. She is currently based in Lenapehoking (New York City).
