Together is a Place

Together is a Place is excited to introduce featured artist and co-founder
Tamika Rivera

Tamika is based in NYC, and CDMX , Rivera is a multidisciplinary artist /activist who creates art that evokes ancestral memories. Sculpture, painting, performance , installations with a concentration in fiber art.Rivera attended Brooklyn’s Boricua College, a Puerto Rican institution, where she studied the social complexities of minority groups who are underrepresented in higher education. She explores her multicultural heritage with a multidimensional perspective. Creating pathways of playful exploration, acceptance, mixed identity, decolonization, gender equality and spiritual activation. Her Afro-Boricua and nomadic mixed European Roots hold space to support the statement “I am Taíno”, a movement giving her indigenous ancestors the right to exist inside of her through her work.

By threading the spirit of human connection through her lineage, Tamika’s work invites you to share her stories through different textures, sound, forms and colors to find the conversation that arises between our present and our past when we tap into our DNA.
