Cai Diluvio

Teacher

Pilipinx jungle born, urban transplant advocating for transformative justice through the healing arts. Mother, herbalist, aspiring doula, and artist weaving a nexus of forgotten dreams, fragmented pottery, mycelial networks, and plant wisdom. A cosmology I embody that greatly influences how I teach is “The future has an ancient heart.” I’m honored to collaborate and co-create with fellow teaching artists in building a non-linear world that nurtures a brave space for kids, and ultimately, ourselves and our community, to express their <ancient hearts>

I have formal training in painting, art history, and ceramics though my work is nebulous/in constant flux. Projects I hold dear to my heart are events I’ve hosted centered around collaboration, teaching art at BPS in outreach programs, community garden/farm collectives, biohacking/community science in maker spaces, and running a community gallery illuminating LGBTQIA+, indigenous, immigrant, black, and poc voices. Some of my favorite classes here so far have been up-cycling fashion, eco art, and drawing movement.
