_About_
Nailea LL. Rios is a San Joaquin Valley-based multidisciplinary artist and organizer. Nailea focuses on creating interactive experiences by combining physical props, digital media, invented rules, and people. In recent years, his practice has grown as he involves himself in the surrounding community. Nailea has experience with art nonprofits, community organizing, and public art. His most recent project was curating a queer-centered gallery, using joy as a tool for resistance.
In 2024, he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Art and Design: Games and Playable Media from the University of California, Santa Cruz.
Everyone has the power to create. To create gives us the power to inspire. To inspire gives us the power to change. To change gives us the power to rebuild.
