Bio & Resume
Hey y’all! I’m Mahal Gonzales-Childress (they/any), a Filipina-American queer artist from Champaign-Urbana. I believe in intersecting art with activism, from confronting difficult stories to highlighting enduring joy and hope for the future. I live for community, liberation, accessibility, and puns—or CLAP for short!
