For invited Artists Tariqa Waters (Martyr Sauce Pop Art Museum) and Jake Prendez (Nepantla Cultural Arts Gallery), building community is an integral part of making art. They join us to talk about the synergy of artists, art, and activism.

One of Seattle Magazine’s most influential artists, born in Richmond Virginia, Tariqa Waters’ innovative practice masterfully commands space through her use of mixed-media tableaus, paintings, photographs, film and whimsical immersive installations. Her technicolor characterizations of multigenerational commercial references reclaim a sincere aesthetic steeped in effortless regality and proudly celebrated traditions.
