Essentials Creative is a multimedia collective of Indigenous American, Latin American, and Asian artists producing holistic applied arts experiences. This diverse group, composed of artists of color, women, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, creates multifaceted events incorporating photography, fashion, graphic design, video, projection, animation, and installation. Their work is characterized by fluidity, diversity, experimentation, and collaboration, providing a platform for underrepresented artists to express themselves and find support within their field.
Recent projects by Essentials Creative include "Rhizomatic" at the Chicago Botanic Garden (2024), an installation exploring interconnectedness through plant stories; "Yanaguana Garden" at Luminaria San Antonio (2023), featuring illuminated tapestries honoring local indigenous heritage; and "Afterworld: Zen Garden" at the Asian American Resource Center in Austin (2023), an immersive celebration of multicultural afterlife beliefs. Through these and other works, Essentials Creative continues to weave diverse cultural threads into rich tapestries of artistic expression.
