    4 DEC

    Episode #129- Danielle Siembieda - Alter Eco Artist

    Danielle Siembieda grew up in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and began letter-writing campaigns focused on environmental causes as early as 9-10 years old. She was also encouraged by her parents to create art. Danielle Siembieda’s work can often be found at the intersection of art and activism. Danielle is the Senior Program Manager for the City of San Jose’s arts industry support team. In addition to this role, she is an artist in her own right. She classifies her current project as alter-eco art, a performance art practice in which she uses technology to modify her appearance online and embody a being named Jean Gnome.  Danielle is currently implementing the Cultural Commentary Project in association with the organization Women Eco Artist Dialog (WEAD). The Cultural Commentary Project invites artists to read through public policies and create artwork in response. The project is part of an upcoming exhibition at Root Division in San Francisco, opening on December 16, 2024. Siembieda is hosting the next Cultural Commentary Project Group on Friday, December 6, 2024, in Downtown San Jose. Artists are encouraged to join the next Cultural Commentary Project Group and attend the 2nd Saturday opening reception at Root Division. In this conversation, Danielle shares her artistic journey that stemmed from an interest in eco-activism, the layered concepts behind her work, and her role working with the City of San Jose.

    Episode #127 - Miguel Kultura

    Episode #127 -Miguel KulturaMiguel Kultura, a Mexican American musician, rapper, and producer, has defined his voice in the beats he produces and the stories in his rhymes. Growing up in San José, Miguel loved hip hop, funk, and soul music. His interest in music led him to work with BAMN, By Any Medium Necessary, a South Bay collective of creatives in music and film production. The experience he gained from working with BAMN served as a tangible outlet for his creative voice. As a rapper and producer, he considers his work in music and with his community as the role of a ‘light seeker’ devoted to telling stories about the positive influences of Indigenous and Chicano cultures. His songs, typically performed in Spanish, are meant to weave together parts of his life with the broader experience of the Mexican American communities in California. Core to his lyrical content is delivering a positive message that he hopes can heal hardships and highlight the strength in humility. Miguel’s latest release, Estilo Chicano, is a heartfelt expression of the strength, joy, and style found in Chicano car culture. Estilo Chicano celebrates low-riders and the pride in a community guided by a common interest. In this conversation, Miguel shares the motivation that he has found in adversity, his journey of self-discovery, and the importance of representing positivity in his work. Follow Miguel Kultura’s latest release on Instagram @miguelkultura and explore his website for an inspirational inventory of merch, albums, and more. Estilo Chicano is now available on Spotify.

    Episode #126 - Tara de la Garza

    Join Tara for the opening of her solo exhibition, “Mining the Plastocene” at Felix Kulpa Gallery in Santa Cruz on Friday, November 1, as part of First Friday Santa Cruz.  Tara de la Garza’s art finds beauty and meaning in discarded materials. As a sculptor and artist in residence at the Cubberley Artist Studio Program in Palo Alto, she approaches themes of environmental justice through visual storytelling. Tara began collecting plastics while pursuing a sustainable lifestyle and later found artistic potential in the often vibrant or semi-transparent commercial byproducts. Tara’s work resonates with sustainability and environmental advocacy. She credits the Australian sensibilities she grew up with for her belief that even one person can make a significant impact. In tandem with her solo artistic endeavors, Tara seeks to make tangible impacts through her nonprofit, Inventurous based in Palo Alto. Inventurous focuses on recycling plastic in innovative and community-oriented ways. The nonprofit aims to educate communities by taking in locally sourced plastic waste for creative reuse. In this conversation, Tara discusses finding her voice as an artist, the duality of plastic–its danger and potential, and the opportunity for one person to spark meaningful change.   Follow Tara de la Garza on Instagram @taradelagarza and at her website taradelagarza.com Follow Inventurous on Instagram @inventurous and their website inventurous.org Follow Felix Kulpa Gallery on Instagram @felixkulpagallery --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/content-magazine/support
