Artist | Designer | Death Doula

Trishia Frulla (she/they)

Trishia is a queer Ilokano death doula, artist and designer centering her community through craft, death work, and design.

Her work has supported Community Deathcare Digest, local activist spaces, filipinx collectives, and her own experimental and collaborative space, Estudio HypoFutures and Eskuela HypoFutures—a space for collective learning at the intersections of death and design, where she dreams of weaving together more spaces for folks to share and support each other through solidarity economies.

Her play practice is a fiber-embodied exploration of her relationship to trauma and healing, and she is informed by Economics. Art. Transformation. created by Economics 4 Emancipation, art.coop, and Collective BAE, as well as Going with Grace End of Life Training. She believes that in order to heal, we must be able to tend to the hard things as lovingly as the easeful ones, and she approaches and supports these lessons with curiosity and compassion through a multidisciplinary artistic yet pragmatic lens.

What could it be like if we took seriously the depths of our feelings and the wisdom of our bodies? What could we learn if we really listened to ourselves?
