Alondra Jara

Alondra Jara (she/ella) is a queer multidisciplinary artist, organizer, and educator based in McKinley Park. Born in Indianapolis to Mexican parents who immigrated from Zacatecas and Jalisco, her work often weaves together themes of land, play, magic, and community. She has collaborated with movement groups and projects such as Movimiento Cosecha, Unity Center Migrant Support, the #LetUsBreathe Collective, and others. Deeply committed to expanding access to arts education, she approaches teaching as a non-hierarchical, reciprocal process rooted in growth and curiosity. Her community organizing informs much of her creative practice, where art becomes a tool for storytelling, connection, and collective resistance.
