RTS is happy to welcome our April/May artist in residence, Jessalyn Aaland!
Jessalyn Aaland is a Bay Area interdisciplinary artist working across social practice, painting, and sculpture to explore how the systems, particularly the K-12 education system, function as a sites for both conformity and resistance. Her socially-engaged projects address youth and teacher audiences, often taking the form of workshops and Risograph-printed posters and zines, and have been supported with funding from Southern Exposure, The Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, and the San Francisco Arts Commission. She has been an artist-in-residence at Facebook, North Mountain (West Virginia), and Sim (Reykjavik), and is a 2018-2019 Political Power fellow at YBCA.
