Daniela Tinoco is a transdisciplinary artist from Cholula, Puebla, currently dividing her time between Central Mexico and the Bay Area.

Tinoco’s work insists on the necessity of vigilance, disruption, and collective reclamation. Whether through the material poetics of clay, the critical excavation of historical media, or the communal resonance of music, her practice invites audiences to listen closely—to the land, to language, and to the voices that refuse to be silenced.

A recent MFA graduate from San Francisco State University, Tinoco is also a co-founder of the annual Enero Zapatista Bay Area. Her work has been showcased at the Berkeley Art Center, ATA Right Window, and SOMArts. She is the recipient of the 2024 Edwin Anthony & Adelaine Boudreaux Cadogan Scholarship and is a member of the Autonomous Imaginaries: For Collective and Counter-Hegemonic Artistic Practices research group at the UC Berkeley Center for Race and Gender Studies.
