Workshop Overview 
The pandemic made me rely on music in a whole new way. As a musician for more than half my life, and as an artist who often incorporates music in their work, I didn't think that I could find more appreciation for the art.
Join me for a music listening party where each person in attendance will share one song that touched them during the pandemic, and one song that is really speaking to them now. We'll make a playlist together so that we can always remember this shared experience in this weird time.




Artist Bio
            Trina is a Filipino American installation and book maker from Sacramento, California. She received a BA in photography from California State University Sacramento, and her MFA in Visual Studies from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Her work and research focus on the banal image, social media, and affects inherited by consumerism. Using popular imagery, nostalgia, and artiface, she creates elaborate displays that serve as a way for her to process the past and to connect to the present. By modeling vulnerability, she hopes for a deeper connection with the viewer.
She has presented research on social media and loneliness at the Smart Museum of Art in Chicago, SECAC, and PCA/ACA.
