Tiare Ribeaux is an interdisciplinary Hawaiian-American artist, filmmaker, writer and artistic director based in the Bay Area. She founded B4BEL4B in 2014 as a platform and community space to prioritize critically underrepresented artists in technology and media arts. She co-founded REFRESH Art, Science, and Technology in 2016 as a collaborative and politically engaged platform. As an artist, her work explores the interfacing of technology with our human bodies and the environment, and employs storytelling to make visible social and ecological imbalances while imagining more regenerative futures.
She is interested in re-centring indigenous technology, and stories that include indigenous futures and the modern indigenous experience. Her recent work at the intersection of art and biology aims to redefine and subvert the binaries of the natural versus the unnatural, and technology versus nature. She has won numerous grants and awards for her artistic leadership, including 2 New and Experimental Works Grants from the Kenneth Rainin Foundation, the Citizen Diplomacy Action Fund, and grants from the SFAC, the Zellerbach Family Foundation, and the Center for Cultural Innovation, among others.
She has shown work both nationally and internationally, and has given artist guest lectures at conferences and universities including ISEA, Stanford, UC Berkeley, SFAI, SJSU, and the school of ATEC at UC Dallas. She was awarded a web residency with Akademie Schloss Solitude + ZKM in 2019 and selected for the American Arts Incubator in 2017-18 with ZERO1. She curated the Soundwave Biennial in San Francisco in 2015-2016 and the CODAME Festival in 2015.
