Tamaribuchi is an artist working in Seattle, Washington where she investigates human life experiences in an organic unfolding art practice. She enters artmaking from a Buddhist and diasporic perspective with an interest \u00a0in impermanence and connecting the past, present and future. Recent projects connect Japanese-American incarceration history to US xenophobic policy today while memorializing Gen-X rave and club culture and questioning the norms of colonial collections of material \u00a0culture.<\/p>\n

Her recent exhibitions include shows at Tlaxcala3 (Mexico City Art Week), Jack Straw Cultural Center (Seattle), Carnation Contemporary (Portland, OR), Seattle Art Fair (Vestibule Gallery), UW Jacob Lawrence Gallery (Seattle), Method Gallery (Seattle), Seattle University Hedreen Gallery, Eastover Contemporary Arts (Lenox, MA), and Galp\u00e3o (S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil).<\/p>\n

Tamaribuchi has been working to realize more tangible outcomes through creative placekeeping via a nonprofit she founded, Friends of Inscape<\/em>, to save Seattle\u2019s largest art studio building and former immigration and detention center from redevelopment. In that effort, she curated the 2025 group exhibition, Eight Years: Finding Resistance and Belonging in the Historic Immigration Building<\/i>, at ARTS at King Street Station. She is a member of SOIL Artist-Run Gallery, which is celebrating its 30th<\/sup> year as an experimental art space. Tara earned a BA in Journalism from George Washington University, BFA in Painting from Pacific Northwest College of Art, and MFA from Lesley Art and Design.\u00a0She currently lives and works in Seattle, WA.<\/p>\n
