’s and I were so grateful for this thoughtful review in of our exhibition "Ancient Wisdom for a Future Ecology: Trees, Time & Technology" at di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art museum location in SF.

Thank you to the author, Jan Wurm () for such a grounded and generous reflection on the work.

We were dying to have her compare our dialogue in our art tour back and forth to Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn (OMG!), and honored by the other artists she referenced in relation to our self-portraits. Her insights on the work are so beautifully written.

Would love for you to see the exhibition in person. A list of public programs at ancientwisdom.art

What an exhilarating afternoon of feminist art and action at di Rosa SF! Speaker Pelosi was incredibly inspiring and talked about the importance of art. “The arts are what are going to save us.” All the speakers were so powerful, and a big thank you to di Rosa, our sponsors, Eve’s Ark, & Women Connect4Good, our amazing partners, and the 400+ people who attended and made the magic that happens when you combine art, important conversations, and community!

With so much uncertainty in the world, it will be great to gather to hear from leaders working to protect and expand women’s rights.

The ever insightful Debbie Millman interviewed me and Ken for her fantastic podcast Design Matters. You can listen to it in my bio link.

I first met Debbie when I was on her show in 2015, and she is so loving, interesting and creative. We became close friends and it is a total gift to be interviewed by her. This is the first time she has interviewed Ken Goldberg together. Loved it. The first half she talks to Ken and then midway through the both of us. It was great to talk about the creative process of our Getty PST Skirball Cultural Center exhibition. Those of you in , Ken and I will be there on Sunday. Love Debbie's questions and her warmth. She is such a special human.

So much has happened in the last two months. First the election not going as many of us hoped and now the LA fires. We invite you to join us in solidarity with others across the country to host a “We Are Here Gathering” in your home and invite your friends on Jan 20th, which is both Inauguration Day and MLK Day.
We will provide 4 of my short films which we have updated for this moment to provide context of where we are, and gather strength in the community.

These gatherings are an initiative by Let it Ripple and Dr. Nancy O'Reilly from Women Connect4Good.

And In light of the devastation in LA from the fires, these gatherings will also serve as fundraisers for people who lost their homes. We will provide a list of families or individuals to help support through this heartbreaking period.

All info on how to sign up to host a “We Are Here Gathering on 1/20” and the ways to help LA, can be found at https://letitripple.org/wearehere

With a heavy heart, xo, Tiffany
