"Sesalli is a queer, chicanx, abstract artist, herbalist, and organizer. Working with paint, collages, textiles, film & plants is her way of processing her history and place in the world. Sesalli’s practice is rooted in remembering plants as teachers and learning imagination as a tool for collective liberation. Sesalli is one of the founding members of Care for Us, an online community care clinic offering liberatory BIPOC-centered community herbal care. They are also one of the founders of Experiments in Freedom, an art services collaborative and facilitation hub creating space for people to access and explore creativity, self-nourishment, and connection with nature. In 2024, I participated in Portland 5's Youth Artist Capital Program, mentoring young artists in Multnomah County. "
