From the artist:

kahalla (maango honey) is a Queer Black and Ilokano multidimensional creator, educator, and communal archivist from the unceded Miwok, Suisune, and Patwin tribal territory currently known as Vallejo. A product of both communal training and institutional investigation, kahalla’s practice includes gathering and sharing tools that allow highly sensitive creative people and historically disenfranchised BIPOC communities to retrieve Transdiasporic histories via cognitive-somatic expression and Ancestral-land-based relations. kahalla is currently based in the unceded Ramaytush Ohlone territory known as West Oakland, and traverses across the Bay Area to interweave connections through their work and transmute tradition into future-building.
