about the artists

Lovella Calica - Writer, photographer

Lovella Rose is looking for her Lola. Losing laughter, smiles, and her Lola’s hands has inspired her to re-create memories made of clicks and frames, split seconds and imagination. Lovella is on adventure to transform her life and the spinning galaxy. Exchanging computer screens for more face to face interactions, building deeper connections with loved ones to inspire healthier, creative rituals, beliefs and bodies. Catch her if you can writing on walls, clicking at courage and dreaming of distant lands. Gathering community in the sun, kitchens and art spaces around the planet, she is excited to be blooming into spring!

L. Capco Lincoln - Video artist, performer

L. Capco Lincoln has spent the last ten years trying to articulate the in-between space of being mixed raced, queer and gender non-conformist. Born and raised in North Central Florida, grad school has brought Lincoln to Philadelphia to explore the endless possibilities of the moving image (a.k.a. film and video) at Temple University's Film and Media Arts department. Through the work with Tatlo Mestiz@s, Lincoln also has expanded into performance art, poetry, video installation and general multimedia collaboration. When not hanging out with Posadas and Lovella, Lincoln is working on fine tuning a participatory video production model where subjects and actors are also collaborators, writers and makers. Most currently, Lincoln is working on a documentary with Southerners On New Ground, a multi-racial, multi-issued LGBTQ organization working for economic and social justice across the South.

Michelle Posadas - Multi-media artist, performer

With the idea that telling stories through creating images is a vital part of social change movements, Michelle Posadas' work examines how our stories connect to something larger. Her practice is committed to creating work that directly responds to issues, such as the inauguration of President Obama, Huricane Katrina and the ever-growing number of political assassinations in the Philippines. Posadas brings together her skills as a visual artist and performer with illustration, projection, elaborate costumes, puppetry, song, dance, and so forth. The incarnation of Posadas’ work with Tatlo Mestiz@s has been pivotal to her growth as an artist. In addition, Michelle Posadas has notably worked with: eating the other, Shoddy Puppet Company, Spiral Q Puppet Theater, Dream Community, In the Heart of the Beast Puppet & Mask Company, and Bread & Puppet Theater.
