meet the artist<\/h3>

Hi, I'm Hania (she\/her)! I am an artist, educator and social science researcher. My art weaves together the wisdom of youth, of social justice movements and of the natural world. I am a formally trained social scientist and critical participatory action researcher, a community nurtured educator activist, and a nature- and child-inspired artist. I imagine, dream, create and educate on Squaxin, Nisqually, Coast Salish, Cowlitz & Massachusett land.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

the story of Wombat Wisdoms <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>

I've always created things, including messes. In elementary school, I made cards and sold them on the street with friends. In middle and high school, I convinced my mom to sell my cards to her friends at work. I had a thriving market (a.k.a., I sold a few cards) among her co-workers. Since then, I've continued to make cards, as well as block printed t-shirts and digital artwork, as gifts. After years of encouragement, I'm finally sharing my art more broadly with the world.<\/p>

Wombat Wisdoms is the result of this encouragement. Wombats are marsupials that poop cubes, are incredibly strong (like move-one-of-those-huge-truck-tires strong), and hopelessly adorable. In groups, they are called \u201cwisdoms,\u201d perhaps after the ingenuity that goes into their complex burrow systems. <\/p>

Wombat wisdoms also represent something broader. They are inherently collective: intergenerational groups of beings, moving through the world in relationship with one another. In this way, wombat wisdoms represent what I hope to do through my work as an artist, educator and researcher: embody community care; acknowledge individual, intergenerational and collaborative wisdom; take part in and uplift collective action; and nurture relationships with each other and the world around us.<\/p>

In this spirit, Wombat Wisdoms celebrates the wisdom of youth, social justice movements and the natural world. It taps into my inner child and the world of play, elevates wisdom of children and youth I work with, learns from and shares about social justice movements and generations of organizers that inspire me, urges us to towards radical love and accountability to take action towards justice, and captures my awe of the natural world and what it can teach us.<\/p>

Look closely, watch slowly, act collectively, love fiercely. Wisdom is all around us, we just have to look for it.<\/p>"},"borderRadius":{"id":68975196,"value":"#{text.border.radius}"},"textColor":{"id":68975197,"value":"#{text.color}"},"backgroundColour":{"id":68975198,"value":"#0000"},"truncateHeight":{"id":68975199,"value":null},"padding":{"id":68975201,"value":"3"},"fullWidth":{"id":68975202,"value":"0"},"fullBackgroundColor":{"id":68975203,"value":"#{text.fullBackground.color}"},"published":{"id":68975204,"value":"1"},"conditions":{"id":68975205,"value":"[]"},"template":{"id":72292619,"value":"text"}}},{"id":3195702,"type":"grid","published":1,"size":{"x":12,"y":0},"order":3,"items":[{"id":3195703,"type":"pod","published":1,"size":{"x":12,"y":0},"order":0,"items":[],"properties":{"title":{"id":68977157,"value":"Instagram"},"copy":{"id":68977158,"value":"@wombatwisdoms"},"buttonText":{"id":68977159,"value":null},"image":{"id":68977160,"value":null},"iconShadow":{"id":68977164,"value":"none"},"icon":{"id":68977167,"value":"{\"prefix\":\"fal\",\"iconName\":\"heart\",\"icon\":[512,512,[],\"f004\",\"M255.1
