Adam Cooper-Terán
As a media agitator, Adam has been creating videos for performance, theater, and spectacle for decades. Born and bred in so-called Tucson, much of their work is centered on storytelling, often expressed through a decolonial lens, and implementing tactics more aligned with surveillance culture, psychedelia, and the supernatural. The "eye in the triangle" is a ubiquitous symbol both esoteric and conspiratorial, a majikal gesture to deflect ill frequencies.
Andi
Andi came to Tucson from Michigan in 2009. She co-created the Arizona Survivors of Torture program at the International Rescue Committee, receiving a Sarlo Distinguished Humanitarian Service Award, and a Ben’s Bell for promoting kindness and community. Andi directs programming at Owl & Panther, an expressive arts nonprofit serving survivors of traumatic displacement. Here Andi holds her dog, Lola, and carries a handmade bag from Ghana. Her jean jacket buttons declare, “No Human Being Is Illegal,” and “Refugees Welcome.” Andi’s right hand forms “I Love You,” in American Sign Language, symbolizing her love of people and languages. Rudy also took special care to capture Andi’s great-grandmother Ruth’s handmade quilt for her base, representing an ancestral lineage of strong women who came before her and paved the way.
Anne Bolger Witherspoon
I am a daughter, mother, wife, theater educator and youth director,
volunteer, and activist. A New Mexican by birth; having lived on both
coasts, I made my way back to the high desert and blue skies of
Albuquerque.
One Christmas morning, I unwrapped a gift that revealed a little green
figure. I looked up and my husband had the biggest smile. It was an
invitation to have my own figure made in my likeness. But really it was
an invitation to say YES to the unexpected.
I choose a bouquet of calla lilies to hold because their shape always reminds me to look inward to find beauty.

BK has been playing music since middle school. Funky Bonz,
Saguaroville, Love Boat, Hillbilly Bo, and Ramonz are some of his past
and present bands. BK also has managed the live music venues
Rialto/191, Fox Theatre and The Rock. Local Love is BKs promotion
company producing well over 100 concerts in its 1st decade. Being part
of the local music and art community means a lot and being immortalized
as one of the Tiny Tributes is an honor.

I chose for my little green man to wield a cast iron frying pan. Which
in retrospect, I wish I had chosen something a little lighter
considering how long I had to hold that pose!
Food is a huge part of my life, from adventure cooking to running a
small food based business (Iron Ladle Kitchen, see a trend here?) across
the country.
You can usually find me in or very near a kitchen with my trusty cast iron close at hand.

Candi Carrell
Native Tucsonian- I am honored to be in this amazing community project
created by Rudy Flores to help recognize the many faces/skills that make
up our awesome caring, artistic and beautiful community. I choose to
stand holding a life size skeleton
because we are all the same in the inside and just because we look
different on the outside doesn't mean we can't build a kind town where
people can be acknowledged and respected for their differences.
Chris Stamos
Christopher E. Stamos, AKA the Pirate ‘Donde Estamos.’ I hold an annual
pirate costume party here in Tucson, Arizona. As Dave Barry so wisely
once said, “There comes a time in a man's life when he hears the call of
the sea. "Hey, YOU!" are the sea's exact words. If the man has a brain
in his head, he will hang up the phone immediately.” This pirate does
not have a brain in his head, just a fondness for pirates and the sea.
