In this Q&A with queer artist Robert Alvarez, we discuss the importance of identity and representation, the challenges of finding a sense of belonging in a rapidly changing city like Austin, and the power of art to inspire.

ABOUT
Tabria Williford (she/her) is the founder and designer of @tawathreads. Tawa Threads is a home goods company with designs inspired by national parks, wildlife, and vegetation. She donates to programs that are invested in exploration for BIPOC, LGBTQIA2+, and individuals with disabilities in outdoor spaces. From my own experience, I know the anxiety that comes with visiting rural areas and feeling unsafe or unwelcome.
