Daniela Tinoco is a transdisciplinary artist from Cholula, Mexico, currently living on Ohlone Land and pursuing her MFA in Art Practice at San Francisco State University.
Through repurposing and fragmenting discursive elements, her work disrupts and reorients structures of domination, seeking possibilities for a transformed future rooted in solidarity, collective elaboration of meaning, and reclamation of agency.
She is a co-founder of the annual Enero Zapatista Bay Area and has exhibited her work at the Berkeley Art Center, ATA Right Window, and SOMArts. Daniela is the recipient of the 2024 Edwin Anthony & Adelaine Boudreaux Cadogan Scholarship and a member of the research group Autonomous Imaginaries: For Collective and Counter-Hegemonic Artistic Practices at the UC Berkeley Center for Race and Gender Studies.
