Artivist Friends
Artivism has the power to move people using imagery, emotion, counter-storytelling, and physical activity.
The artivists showcased here have been chosen because 1) they are friends and 2) they embody anti-racism and anti-oppressive messaging in their works.

Artist, Youth Educator
Alejandra Rubio is a friend, colleague, printmaker, cultural curator, and community advocate from San Francisco. She is critical of societal norms and their impact on marginalized people and is fascinated by the power of radical imagination through the act of dreaming and creating art. This has led her to pursue a career as an arts educator for the last two years working with children, youth, and adults. She was most recently awarded the YBCA Creative Corp Grant where she launched her own youth arts program, Creative Seeds of Activism. She mentored 10 local youth as they developed their own Art and Activism posters that were then displayed in Puerto Alegre, a local business. She has been a cultural bearer with Arte Unidos for the last 3 years sustaining the legacy of this project by collaborating with local businesses and providing solo shows to local marginalized artists. She is currently the 2024-2025 R.A.I.C.E.S. Fellow at Galeria de la Raza, where she is working on creating a body of work reflective of her experience having grown up in the Mission and Bayview regions.
