Flavia Elisa Mora is a queer, Mexican migrant artist, activist, and arts administrator raised in occupied Ramaytush Ohlone land, in a neighborhood known as La Mission. Amongst her interdisciplinary art practice, her main two focuses are muralismo and Flor y Canto poesía.

✤ 

Through painting on top of ladders and weaving singing into poetry, she finds herself closer to her ancestry rooted in the Caxcan ranchos of Aguascalientes, and Nochistlan, Mexico. Flavia’s work delves into the exploration of her identity, relationships, migration story, family and community history. She is a published writer, has performed poetry throughout the Bay Area, and is one of the lead artists for the mural, Alto al Fuego en la Misión located on 24th and Capp, SF.

Flavia’s passion for both muralism and spoken word poetry collide through her understanding that both forms are vessels for preserving history, intergenerational healing tools, and expressions of the soul.
