During the pandemic, Blanco harvested clay from her backyard to create handmade bricks and invited the community at different gatherings to inscribe the bricks with their intentions. Participants were encouraged to contemplate their connections to ritual, protection, and care. The bricks in the gallery are arranged as a kusikus, a pattern that dates back to the 1400s in the Ilocos region of the Philippines. The wave-like movement of pattern, visible in certain angles, was thought to protect from evil by confusing harmful spirits. https://www.cristineblanco.com/kapwagardens-images daily 0.75 2021-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589a955a1b631b81b95cae2a/1613176128446-9O3UYSXK1XJIFSRHGGDP/FInal_MockUp_Balay+copy.jpg Kapwa Gardens Images https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589a955a1b631b81b95cae2a/1613176128446-9O3UYSXK1XJIFSRHGGDP/FInal_MockUp_Balay+copy.jpg Kapwa Gardens Images https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589a955a1b631b81b95cae2a/1613176148900-P63XD9GZRCV1VGK3339S/CristineBlanco_ShapesoftheBarrio.jpg Kapwa Gardens Images https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589a955a1b631b81b95cae2a/1613176157608-SE6TTBVY2GGT31RXT1RS/2021-02-12_cb_fruitstand_small.jpg Kapwa Gardens Images https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589a955a1b631b81b95cae2a/1613176177500-OEG2RRO2299XUDQ8P3LH/Side+View.jpg Kapwa Gardens Images https://www.cristineblanco.com/public-art-commissions daily 0.75 2023-07-11 https://static1.squarespace.com/static/589a955a1b631b81b95cae2a/t/64aca68386a14860796e7bbc/1689035853168/ Public Art + Commissions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589a955a1b631b81b95cae2a/1613175105149-W5BR3G1H67C1VSX53VX1/Mills_BLM_Converging+Flora_3.jpeg Public Art + Commissions -

Article linked HERE. CRISTINE BLANCO and YÉTUNDÉ OLAGBAJU ARTISTS STATEMENT As artists and recent graduates of Mills College, we began this collaborative piece by examining the ways we have processed the current global pandemic and civil rights movement. As a way to cope, we have been spending precious time outside, finding refuge and comfort in the colors and flora of our neighborhoods (Fruitvale and Laurel). In the same breath, we have also reflected on the location of Mills, its neighboring communities, and the flora that makes them. Specifically, we have considered how the campus is a nexus for many converging backgrounds and perspectives. For many, it is also a place that holds tension: barriers between the campus and surrounding neighborhoods, gender inequalities, grappling with police brutality, and so much more. It is our belief that the relationship between indigenous and invasive plant species can mirror this tension, within Mills, the history of Oakland, and what we experience in our everyday lives. Converging Flora presents portraits of that tension as it is: layered, detailed, but in an inextricable relationship. You will find no faces in this piece, but it is our hope that through color, composition, scale, and line that you will bear witness to that conflict. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589a955a1b631b81b95cae2a/1613175054017-BSPXRZEXS9N8USN0HG2R/Mills_BLM_Converging+Flora_1.jpeg Kapwa Gardens Proposal Details of Left Entrance - “Converging Flora” 2020 https://www.cristineblanco.com/soex-mvs daily 0.75 2021-05-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/589a955a1b631b81b95cae2a/1621122708819-0FEXT7LVXPTRQT5WNXQV/Blanco_Cristine_Where+The+Sun+Sets+into+the+Night_01.jpg Southern Exposure - Mission Voices Teaching Artist - Make it stand out 1.
