About Essentials Creative

Essentials Creative is a multimedia collective where Indigenous American, Latin American, and Asian artists produce holistic applied-arts experiences through rhizomatic processes that honor both individual experimentation and collective vision. Working between Austin and San Antonio, we integrate photography, fashion, graphic design, video, projections, animation, and installation into cohesive experiences that reveal the underground networks connecting communities, cultures, and ecosystems.

Our practice merges Indigenous worldviews with rhizome theory and multiculturalism, creating non-hierarchical experiences that reflect cyclical time and universal connectivity.

We create a vital platform for underrepresented artists—especially BIPOC, women, and LGBTQIA+ voices—to express authentic perspectives within collaborative frameworks. Our approach embraces multiplicity over singularity, ensuring every voice contributes to our evolving cultural expression.

Through installations like "Rhizomatic" at Chicago Botanic Garden and "Yanaguana Garden" at TX Biennial, we translate the cultural and scientific stories of regional plant species into multimedia experiences where traditional ecological knowledge flows directly into contemporary artistic techniques.

Seeking emerging talent, innovative voices, and unseen narratives, we collaborate with community creatives as essential artistic partners. Local photographers, illustrators, mural artists, and cultural producers become creative collaborators whose perspectives shape outcomes. Through this experimentation within collaboration, we demonstrate that diversity strengthens artistic vision, creating multimedia art that honors ancestral wisdom while developing new forms of collective creative expression.
