Jeannette Rodríguez Píneda
Jeannette is an afro indigenous visual storyteller and education designer residing between Kiskeya/Ayiti and Lenape Mohican land. Jeannette is a mixed media artist whose mediums include installation, photography, printmaking, and somatics. Using ancestral plant-based image making as a means of remembering soils called home, their work explores the tension of narratives within intergenerational trauma.
They collaborate with schools to design art and ecology projects that decolonize canon-based models of learning through a decentralized approach. They are also a licensed DEC backcountry guide, leading free bilingual hikes through Movimiento, an initiative to strengthen BIPOC connection to land.
