This Year’s Residents
February 2025
Bree S.
@frijoleboogie
Ramaytush Ohlone Lands
Bree is a naturalist guide, land steward, and community educator. She is passionate about contributing to the ongoing healing and mobilizing of our communities by way of restored connections with lands, waters, and each other, as is necessary to the struggle of all colonized bodies.
With her known lineages originating from various parts of Turtle Island, her family settled on occupied Tongva lands, where she bore witness to the power and creativity of single mothers, working people, and DIY spaces. This inspiration informs her current work which spans across habitats: from chaparral to tidepools, joshua tree deserts to great basin salt lakes, redwood forests to alpine meadows, farms and gardens to city parks and autonomous organizing spaces. Bree is practicing how to cherish life and bring that love into safe learning environments that honor our respective identities and lineages.
She feels most generative when considering and cultivating her relations, be it with people, plants, or the elements. Her other interests include singing, writing, crafting, humor, gardening, climbing mountains, laying in dirt, being by water, eating yummy food, silliness, and learning visual storytelling methods.

Prior to cooking, Jocelyn was a strategy consultant and nonprofit worker, dedicating her time to supporting causes at the most critical times in our nation.

Jocelyn has cooked at the world’s best restaurants, including The French Laundry (USA), Satoyama Jujo (Japan), and most recently, noma (Denmark).
Traveling to 45+ countries and seeing food through a global lens, her food focuses on the micro-seasons, foraging, fermentation, and preservation; and how vital it is to consider these interconnected pieces as inputs to our ecosystem, our bodies, and our planet. Jocelyn is currently developing her restaurant and plans to open in spring 2026.

Jordan Roodman
@jojoroo
Jordan Roodman (she/her) is a creative, cook and gastronome preoccupied by food and all of its entanglements. Her culinary ethos centers a reconnection with land through foraging, fermentation, and seasonal, intuitive cooking. Jordan is driven by a desire to reimagine our collective relationship to food and food systems, using food as a medium to cultivate community, intimacy and reciprocal nourishment for ourselves and the earth. Her practice highlights the regeneration of the natural world and works to reintegrate play through the form of workshops, installation, prose and meals.
Jordan graduated with a Master of Gastronomy from the University of Gastronomic Sciences in Pollenzo, Italy in 2024, where her research centered bio-poetics, entanglement philosophies and queer theory applied to regenerative agriculture. Most recently, Jordan lived in Iceland, cooking at the hyper-local restaurant, Slippurinn, focusing on sustainable seafood, sea foraging and indigenous plants. In Reykjavik and around Iceland, Jordan led volcanic and sea foraging walks, fermentation workshops for Utkall Festival and a culinary pop-up for UN Women’s ‘Fuck Violence’ campaign.
Victoria Xiao (they/them) is an artist and researcher who believes in the power of craft as a medium for storytelling. Working primarily with ceramics, they explore ancient Chinese and folk art traditions, the queer relationality of gardens and green spaces, and global craft communities. Their practice has been deeply shaped by the generosity of craft knowledge shared by others, and they are committed to continuing this exchange whenever possible.
Victoria Xiao
@victoriazxiao
Victoria graduated with a BFA in art history from Reed College in 2022. Their thesis examined the significance of food narratives for Asian-Americans and the minor aesthetics of food art and restaurant culture, in an attempt to re-imagine how Asian-American art is discussed and racialized.
Fiorella Lema
@chicha_sagrada
Fiorella Lema (aka Chicha Sagrada) is an interdisciplinary traditional arts practitioner and culture bearer existing in the Andean diaspora. Fiorella's pieces are grounded in a queer spiritual pedagogy, exploring ideas of lineage, speculative landscapes, and ritual. They hold a deep and compassionate commitment to create works that can critically speak to the relationship diasporic people have to the land, and constantly seek to cultivate spaces that can help detangle the broken threads left behind by settler colonialism and weave them into new understandings of diasporic identity and cultural knowledge. Fiorella was the Fall 2023 WARP SF Clayroom resident artist, and their work has been featured at Clayroom Soma, Root Division Art Gallery, San Francisco Exploratorium 2023’s Living Altars exhibit, Mercury 20 Gallery, and the Tradición Peruana Cultural Center
Roberto Salas
Within the 30 years experience in creating site-specific projects in various states, countries in different settings including collaboration with architects, engineers, community focus groups, municipalities departments and student groups. This is essential to explore different views and particulars from such collectives. For me the location’s character, populace integrated into the research development has proved essential in successful public arts pieces. The artwork could conceptually incorporate local history, community identity, and cultural linkages between people, landscape and time to provide a positive experience to diverse populations and intergenerational audiences.
My work has given me a wide range of experience different in durable media. I am an art maker and educator with a track record across the United States, as well as in the Pacific and Mexico.
I have participated in collaborative artist residencies as well as public arts projects. I have a sense of a strong multicultural dimension to my practice.Working towards enhancing a public space can create an intellectual challenge but the key to a successful artwork is the visual concept that connects the aesthetic of the site and society through a common thread Visiting a site I find it important that its identity be defined with a symbolic icon as a way to foster a sense of place. To accomplish this task I find it important to develop a working relationship with the architects and well as inhabitants of the new structure and its guests. Establishing a common denominator with a variety of set materials can be seen in my public art projects resulting in an eclectic set of social practice, installation and art interventions
