Tori farias

Tori grew up in Pembroke Pines, Florida and while a new-er resident to the PNW she is happy to call Portland her home. As a child she was described by teachers as “having potential”, “silly”, and “well-spoken”.  Now as an adult Tori has decided to put those claims to the test. She is an artist, performer, and educator of over 10 years across multiple disciplines.  A regular day for her looks like instructing group fitness classes and sipping an iced latte while spiraling over what the meaning of life could be.

solo work: Model minority

In Model Minority we follow Tori through her psyche from the outside, in. We peek into her lost lineages and have conversations with those who have passed on. This piece asks us, the living, WHO we are living for.
