in 2016, ​tea roots presented a collective exhibition featuring the work of emerging artists related to the theme Little Boxes, a commentary on homogeneity, deculturalization, and gentrification in America.  Today, homogeneity moves in reverse direction, from the sprawling suburban developments of post-World War II America back into the urban core, pushing diversity outwards.

 

Everyday we see how technology bridges us, and just as much how it segregates, the latter very apparent in the effects of the Tech Boom and Silicon Valley on the surrounding Bay Area. as urban wealth continues to swell, increasingly so does its uniformity.

 

We are pleased to announce Tea Roots winners in the visual arts category from this exhibit: 

​

* 1st Place - Robots and The Electric Tower (2015) by Monica Tiulescu 

* 2nd Place - Altar to Liberating Libations (2013) by Ignatius the Younger
